  1. Boot and mount your Windows partition
  2. Run the following on the command line
sudo os-prober
  1. If your Windows installation was found, you can run:
sudo update-grub

Note that step 2 is just for your convenience. You could just mount the Windows partition and then run update-grub .

If the os-prober method above doesn’t work try adding a custom grub menu entry.

First two steps are for finding your <UUID> .

  1. Run lsblk and find the name of the row with /boot/efi

Example output (here the answer is sda2) :

lsblk
NAME        MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda           8:0    0   477G  0 disk 
├─sda1        8:1    0   450M  0 part 
├─sda2        8:2    0   100M  0 part /boot/efi
├─sda3        8:3    0    16M  0 part 
├─sda4        8:4    0    47G  0 part /windows
├─sda5        8:5    0 425,6G  0 part /
└─sda6        8:6    0   3,7G  0 part [SWAP]
mmcblk0     179:0    0  14,9G  0 disk 
└─mmcblk0p1 179:1    0  14,9G  0 part
  1. Run sudo blkid /dev/sdaX where sdaX is the answer from previous step ( sda2 in my case) .

Example output (here the answer is 58E4-427D) :

/dev/sda2: UUID="58E4-427D" TYPE="vfat" PARTLABEL="EFI system partition" PARTUUID="b81727be-ba90-5f8c-ab98-d3ec67778b7d"
  1. Add the following at the end of the file /etc/grub.d/40_custom :
menuentry "Windows 10" {  
     insmod ntfs  
     set root='(hd0,1)'  
     search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set <UUID>
     chainloader +1  
}
  1. Run sudo update-grub and reboot.

I downloaded latest version 4.9 but I’m facing same issue.

Dual boot not showing its always open the window 10

7

it may be the bios problem as well
have you installed on uefi or legacy system?

Same problem! I just installed parrot os 4.9, and installed grub at /dev/sda, but it doesn`t show GRUB, it goes to windows, or (if I change the boot settings) it says there are no boot options.
