Hi , I have a laptop with W10 and recently I tried to install Ubuntu 16.04. I've succesfully done it , but now I can't start W10. I've tried to repair the boot with boot-repair (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair) , but the recommended option did not work. Boot-repair gave me the following link: http://paste2.org/c1mOfFpz

Anyone can help me ? Thanks!

You should be able to directly boot Windows from UEFI boot menu. Often f10 or f12 shows you a boot menu, check your manual for correct key(s).

Grub used to not boot Windows if Secure Boot was on. One user reported it worked, but not sure if he knew if configuration was Secure boot or not.

Also grub only boots working Windows. Or Windows cannot be hibernated which Windows fast startup uses, nor can Windows need chkdsk which after file corruption of any type it may need.

Best to have Windows repair/recovery drive.

Thanks oldFren , I didn't realize I had to change the option from the boot menu.
