Dual booting with Windows? Beware recent Win update!

With all their talk about loving Linux you'd think they'd work on not breaking grub all the time.

I'm glad I deleted that Windows partition since I didn't use it anyways. And in typical Microsoft fashion they don't acknowledge there's even a problem leaving people in the dark. I'm never going back to Windows.

Is this the new embrace, extend, extinguish?

Windows is malware and deserves to be treated as such

Am I right in assuming this only applies to single disks partitioned with both Windows and a Linux distro?

My solution for cases like this is sudo format c: /q && apt install linux.
