Thank you! Removing an old kernel (6.1) and removing the unused wifi drivers did the job!

After upgrading to MX-23.2 using Adrians guide (https://mxlinux.org/wiki/system/upgradi ... installing), I get the following error at installation or updating:

...

Mounting the Windows partition before update-grub did not make any difference.

sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc

Yes! That brought back the 2 Windows entries in the boot menu.
Thank you!

Have you tried as root user in terminal? update-grub update-grub does not bring Windows back into the Grub menu.

I tried again with LiveUSB ->Boot Rescue->Windows Boot loader, now with a different boot (from USB, not UEFI):
Now, it finds 2 bootloaders on drive (hd1,1)/bootmgr and on drive (hd1,2 ...

I tried the MX-23.2 LiveUSB - Boot Rescue. Unfortunately, it cannot find a Windows Boot Loader. What would be the file name?
My Windows 10 is on partition 2, partition 1 has boot flag. Previously there were 2 Grub entries for Win10.

Hi, responding to an old thread:
I tried to upgrade my MX-21 to the new MX-23.2, using Adrians guide (https://mxlinux.org/wiki/system/upgrading-from-mx-21-to-mx-23-without-reinstalling).
Unfortunately, I cannot boot into Windows anymore, there is no such boot entry as I had before. My configuration ...

In 20.04, I just added the ppa, and installed.
But now, trying to add the ppa did not work, see attached.
Do I have to build it from source for MX-21?

In my desktop (Ubuntu 20.04) I am running gloobus preview to conveniently display text, pictures, pdf etc.
In MX-21 on my laptop I tried to install the package, but I couldn't.
Any tip how to do? Or any alternative?

Now, I copied the boot folder and bootmgr from sda2 to sda1, set the boot flag on sda1 and cleared it on sda2.
Then, update-grub.
I got 2 Windows entries sda1 and sda2 in the grub menu.
Selecting sda1 -> not a bootable disk
Selecting sda2 -> started windows repairs which took a long time, and said ...
