Hello all,
I have a dual boot system, ZorinOS + Windows 10 insider preview. I would like to warn/inform others with similar setups, that the latest Win10 update (build 14986, 12/7/2016) will mess up your GRUB, and you will be dropped to a grub rescue prompt after the first reboot (thank you msft).
No worries tough, boot-repair fixes everything
This is what I did:
1) boot zorin os live disk
2) install boot-repair
In terminal:
3) run boot-repair, and follow the on-screen instructions
4) If everything goes right your system is back to normal, tough in my case the Windows10 loader item was missing from my "new" grub list. This was fixed by running (in terminal)
I hope this will spare you some headaches!
Cheers!
