Hi,
Following a suggestion from Hugh off list, I did a clean installation of
Windows 10 on my Dell XPS 13 (9350 model). Two things emerged from this
exercise:
1. Bluetooth didn't work in Windows, even though it does in Kubuntu.
Maybe this explains the problems in the VM?
2. I cannot update grub to show the Windows partition in the boot menu.
I've used dual boot before (many moons ago, but mainly between multiple
linux installations. I suspect most people start with Windows and then
install linux, but I already have a valid Kubuntu 23.10 installation, so
(of course) Windows overwrote the existing boot menu and the machine
simply booted into Windows with no choice given.
I had expected this and believed that it could be fixed using
grub-update. I was able to access the boot menu provided by the BIOS
(F12 on this machine) and got back into Kubuntu OK, but when I
ran grub-update that didn't work. I then ran grub-probe and the Windows
partition showed up OK, but that didn't allow grub-update to work.
Any ideas? Years ago, I had a tool that allowed the grub menu to be
updated fairly seamlessly, but I suspect that has long been out of support.
