Grub uninstall

Here is how I did it. If you have a windows repair disk you can select the UEFI firmware option and load Windows from there to avoid reinstalling Linux. You should see the grub menu, even though you can boot to Windows from here, this is not what we want yet But find the option that boots into Windows. Especially make sure the small grub partition is removed. Disable the Ubuntu option. Continue boot. This time when running it.

It will act differently, there is no grub bootloader detected to reinstall and should run faster than before. This worked for me when nothing else did, I ran bootrec. Nothing worked. This saved my computers life. Hope it saves yours! If any of the above situation applies, do the following Using Windows 10 as an example :. It may be impossible to do that. Any time you want to show the Grub menu, press ESC while booting up will NO longer show dual-boot multi-boot systems other than Ubuntu.

Community Bot 1. I preferred this solution because I did not want to create a bootable device and it worked perfectly — Efi Kaltirimidou. This worked for me, but I still have a question: does this actually remove grub or is in the background still something going on where grub hands things over to the windows boot loader? This is the solution that works. Show 33 more comments.

I don't want to uninstall GRUB packages I don't want to uninstall Linux I don't have Windows There are other operating systems installed on the same drive with their own EFI bootloaders which must remain unaffected I did not find a command like grub-uninstall , but there has to be some easy way, right?
