I recently uninstalled Ubuntu after having dual-booted Ubuntu and Windows. Now when I boot normally, I reach a screen that simply gives me a grub prompt. I can get to Windows by booting, pressing F11, and selecting "Windows Bootloader", but I would prefer to be able to go straight to Windows.

Per the answer here, I tried running bootrec /fixboot and bootrec /fixmbr in succession, which had no effect.

I then backed up my system on an external drive and attempted to reinstall from that, but I was unable to do so because "the system image was created with UEFI" instead of BIOS.

Thoughts/suggestions?

This technically might not be uninstalling GRUB, but it produced the desired behavior (i.e., booting to Windows instead of GRUB). Here's what I did:

  1. Open cmd.exe with administrator privileges
  2. Run bcdboot C:\Windows, replacing C with the appropriate drive as necessary

That was it!
