Grub menu not show windows

Hi
I don’t know why or when, but the Grub menu has stopped showing Windows. I came to think that I had eliminated but it is still there. The fstab file contains an entry for the Windows partition:

 UUID = B486-C35A / boot / efi vfat umask = 0077, shortname = winnt 0 2

Thank you for any help.

Please check out whether there is a folder named Windows or Microsoft in your EFI folder. The EFI folder is usually located at /boot/efi/, and if not, there are still many approaches to find it.

If the folder is there. Refer to Use Linux efibootmgr Command to Manage UEFI Boot Menu to add a boot entry for Windows.

Thanks for you help… but there is no Windows or Microsoft directory in /boot/efi…What can i do?

This problem may occur to people who only have Windows installed. So it’s no problem with Fedora actually.

I can provide you a link: How to repair the EFI bootloader on a GPT HDD for Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and 10 on your Dell PC

The other solutions can also be found using queries like “fix Windows EFI” on Google.

GOOD LUCK!
