Issue
In order to remediate the undermentioned, I have reinstalled the Fedora 41 KDE Spin:
I very recently invoked the undermentioned:
#!/usr/bin/env -S bash
sudo dnf upgrade --offline -y && \
sudo dnf offline reboot -y
This should be safe (I did check the output, despite -y
) and has worked this far.
Unfortunately, at the end of the update dmesg
log on the first reboot of the two it required to apply, something appeared to fail.
Subsequently, on every boot attempt, systemd-journald
fails with ever-increasing timers, automatically restarting itself.
This brought another (lesser) issue with it – 496876 – All windows release grab every ⪅ 5s. – which I could work around.
However, I can’t easily work around not being able to access Windows 11 anymore, because I need to provide a .dmp
file for Windows 10 File Explorer Crashes on Right-Click - Super User .
Consequently, how can I restore my ability to access Windows via ASRock’s UEFI GUI and Fedora’s GRUB2 TUI?

How to Restore Deleted EFI System Partition in Windows | Windows OS Hub from the aforementioned looks suitable to remediate this, since I appear to only be missing the EFI entry – the partitions themselves appear to be as expected.
That tutorial doesn’t appear particularly trustworthy. Consequently, I watched youtu.be/CZ17JrgFFhw
, which was verbose. However, I’m less confident now due to the output of bcdedit
in the created media:
The boot configuration data store could not be opened.
The system could not find the file specified.
Consequently, I’ve asked the undermentioned at SU SE:

i don’t understand
@elvisvan , what do you not understand?
I want to:
Notify the forum members that this eventuality is possible when installing the Fedora 41 KDE Spin alongside an existing Windows 11 Pro installation;
Attempt to ascertain:
Why this occurred; and
How to remediate it.

@jymm, do you ask because you've experienced something like the undermentioned? If so, I'd appreciate a corroboration, since that means that can confirm that it's a cross-OS problem.
