Fix Grub (lost) on Windows 11 - Or after Removing Ubuntu Partition

 Tried on HP Victus

The grub is lost because the windows is set as default for login in BIOS.

If you set Ubuntu as default grub will be back.

Go to BIOS settings (F10) and Boot Settings and OS boot manager and put ubuntu on top.

You get grub back (you can select between ubuntu and windows then)




Select Windows [Didn't Work]:
Hold Shift+Restart
After Restart Again F9 and Windows and got to:
Advanced Options > Command Prompt
and do:
X:\Windows\System32> bootrec /fixmbr
X:\Windows\System32> bootrec /fixboot
sometimes this gives error: Access is denied.
if so, do this
X:\Windows\System32> bootsect/nt60 sys
Then do:
X:\Windows\System32> bootrec /fixboot


Repair Grub : Do this before deleting partition [Did but didn't work]
Might need to do it by creating an installation media in USB (F9) for boot options HP Victus.
X:\Windows\System32> bootrec /fixmbr
X:\Windows\System32> bootrec /fixboot
sometimes this gives error: Access is denied.
if so, do this
X:\Windows\System32> bootsect/nt60 sys
Then do:
X:\Windows\System32> bootrec /fixboot
