Windows forced an update and I can no longer access grub and therefore can't access my Ubuntu partition. Computer automatically boots to Windows and I cannot find a boot option in the BIOS that opens grub when I reboot.

I have tried using BootRepair with Ubuntu on a USB drive, but it has not worked and there is no boot option to access grub.

Here is a link to a pastebin with the BootRepair info report: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/JJkkrr6cJW/

I have a coursework due tomorrow which I need to do with Ubuntu so this timing is pretty unfortunate for me. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
James

SOLVED

Had to change the bootloader in windows, using the command suggested in the Bootrepair summary.
