I have a msi GE62vr laptop that I installed windows 10 when I bought it (it was freedos). After a while I decided to install Ubuntu 16.04 LTS as dual boot on the HDD (Windows is on SSD).

Everything went perfectly but there was a slight problem, grub was not showing in boot and computer was directly booting into Windows. Not much a big deal, I started looking for solutions.

First: I installed boot-repair when I am in Ubuntu (Used Windows 10 advanced startup to get access inside Ubuntu), I activated recommended repair button, which immediately messed up the startup. The computer that used to boot up in 10 seconds is now booting up in at least 7-8 minutes. And it still directly booted into Windows.

Second: Then I did what suggested here:

I know the problem description here does not match my issue, but this solution helped me before in a similar problem so I used it again, now the computer boots into GRUB(original problem solved), however the boot slowing caused boot-repair still persists and I don't have slightest clue how to reverse the process.

Any ideas appreciated.

Edit1: Here is the information from the boot-repair software if it helps.

Edit2: I will consider using Windows System Recovery if no solution emerges. ( I did not check if a recovery point created recently.)

I ran these commands and the problem solved, I don't know why.

sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get install -fy
sudo apt-get install -y --force-yes grub-pc linux-generic
