    I’m not gonna fire up Windows (Update) for this, but shouldn’t the bootloader handle this?

      I’ve never actually had this problem, but the issue is Windows will wipe your bootloader from the ESP, so it can’t do anything about it. You can use your bootloader of choice to fix it, but you’d have to chroot from a live image.

        Sounds about right. In my case I think it didn’t even wipe the whole thing.

        I just don’t understand why they share EFI partitions.
