Hi y’all. I was dual booting Windows+SteamOS and for the longest time it worked fine. I just recently decided today it was probably time to update the OS, so I did, and then afterwards it booted me into Windows which I thought was odd. So I restarted, Windows again. Restarted, Windows again. Eventually I went into the boot manager and the ONLY thing appearing is Windows, no refind, no SteamOS. I hope to God it hasn’t deleted my OS but if someone knows how to get it back I would greatly appreciate your help.

    Would have been helpful to have put [dual boot] in the subject

    Windows typically will erase boot loaders and install it’s own. Sometimes seemingly randomly, or on updates.

    Like malware.

    M$ refuses to make things like dual boot not a pain in the ass

    Usually you boot into a live Linux and replace the boot loader but a dual-boot-deck 8s unknown territory to me

      Windows isn’t removing the other entries. BIOS updates are responsible for that.
