Suggested repair: ______________________________________________________________

The default repair of the Boot-Repair utility would reinstall the grub2 of
sda5 into the MBR of sda.
Grub-efi would not be selected by default because no ESP detected.
Additional repair would be performed: unhide-bootmenu-10s win-legacy-basic-fix

Blockers in case of suggested repair: __________________________________________

Please use this software in a live-session (live-CD or live-USB). This will enable this feature.

Thank you

If you have Sparky testing (7) the default option of Grub doesn't support other operating systems to boot.
To fix that add the line:
GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=falseas root or with sudo to the end of the file:
/etc/default/grubthenL
sudo update-grub
