Same thing happened to me, looks there was a typo in the update; to fix simply highlight the entry you want to boot and press 'e' This should give you the options for that entry. In mine, the linux kernel specified was missing the 'c' at the end of generic

Add the c and hit ctrl-x to boot

In my windows install, the '1' was missing from the last line, chainloader +1
