Open a new terminal session ( Ctrl + Alt + T ) and type the following command :

sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Reboot the system. Windows must have appeared in the grub menu now.

  • Because of the issues of the NTFS partition the Linux NTFS driver will not mount it and then grub2's os-prober will not be able to read it and find the Windows boot files.
