        Do you dual boot off the same drive or have separate drives and this issue occurred anyway?

          First time, I had same drive. Then I read that it is better to have different drives, so second time I installed Windows on a different drive. It still managed to mess up Linux.

            AFAIK, you need to use seperate drives and install the OSes in such a way that each drive has its own EFI partition. (Installing with the other drive disconnected is the easy way.) Then only use your UEFI boot selection menu to choose which drive to boot from.

            Thanks! I’ll disconnect my Linux drive when its time to accept Microsoft’s shitty upgrade.
