    Does having Linux and Windows on seperate drives mitigate this issue somewhat?
    Wanting to start dual booting and moving to windows. Wondering if that helps at all.
    Edit: I meant moving to Linux… >.>

      I keep Linux and windows on separate disks, grub or windows boot manager don’t know about each other. I have the Linux disk as the primary boot, if I need to boot into windows i use the bios boot selection screen. It’s a bit of a pain at times(have to mash F12 to get the bios boot menu) bit it’s less of a headache than trying to fix grub

        I took this approach as well but I let Grub add Windows as a boot option. No mashing keys at post and Windows doesn’t get to touch Grub or Debian.

          I have considered adding windows to grub, but these days I hardly boot into windows so there is probably not much point.
