After upgrade to 19.10 on my dual boot system I am unable to boot into Windows.

If I change boot order in the BIOS and put windows boot manager first I can boot into Windows no problem.

However... from the grub menu when I select Windows boot manager the screen flashes and I'm back at the grub menu. So I do see Windows as an option in grub, it just doesn't boot.

I used sudo grub-update

and boot-repair

here is the log: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/rJPfP9WwSs/

The instructions on boot-repair report tell you to boot into Windows (as you do now by changing boot order) and then:

For example you can boot into Windows, then type the following command in an admin command prompt:
bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\ubuntu\shimx64.efi

Do this from Windows and then if it doesn't work revise your question with current status / new issues.

Also note boot-repair created 7 custom entries to boot Windows and Ubuntu from UEFI. In my experience they won't all work. After you fix the booting issues see this answer:

Apparently this is a bug in Grub 2.04, which is shipped by Ubuntu 19.10.

See: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1839317 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1845289

You might consider either downgrading the version of Grub on your system or waiting for a fixed version.
