This is the first case reported here of the bug in (k)ubuntu 15.10, the
newest ubuntu family as of October 2015.

I can confirm the bug exists in a Toshiba Satellite C850-19D laptop,
with pre-installed Windows 8, and parallel installation of Kubuntu 15.10
"WIlly Werewolf".

Same as other cases above, Kubuntu 15.10 installed very well and boots OK from 
Grub2 menu, but Windows 8 does not boot from this menu, showing instead the 
error
"/EndEntire filepath: 
/ACPI(a0341d0,0)/PCI(2,1f)/Sata(0,0,0)/HD(2,e1800,82000,cc51b24f9affe111,2,2)/File(\EFI\Microsoft\Boot)/File(bootmgfw.efi)/EndEntire
Cannot load image"

Note the following:
1. The original workaround of disabling Secure Boot in the BIOS works in this 
case, and it is very easy to reproduce the issue. I have decided to stay 
without Secure Boot, as it is the simplest of all the workarounds so far.

2. Following advise from NVieville on post #48, since this is a Toshiba
Satellite C850, I did a BIOS upgrade to the latest version for this
model:  v6.80, from 22-Jan-2014.   I repeated the experiments and saw no
improvement, i.e., the problem exists exactly the same with the new BIOS
and I must disable Secure Boot to get Windows 8 booting.

3. A side note but useful: For those interested in Linux (Ubuntu)
support for this Toshiba Satellite model, good news: All hardware is
supported and working fine out of the box, no need to do any special or
additional procedures: Wi-fi, sound, all FN keys, etc.
