Have to boot to Windows to fix it
Add it to the list of things that have literally never happened. A Linux LiveUSB/LiveCD? Sure
Most of this sub sounds like how old people explain tech problems badly. It’s clear they can’t be bothered to search and find out what is going on.
Linux will let you break it. It isn’t meant for people who can’t be bothered with learning or consequences but insist on being superuser.

It is literally one single human being lol
I dual-booted for almost five years. Never once did I have to boot to Windows to fix Linux. Sometimes I’d have to boot to Linux to fix Windows or boot to a Linux live USB to fix the bootloader that Windows broke. But never did I have to use Windows to fix Linux.
The very idea of using Windows to fix Linux seems absurd.
I can see two scenarios:
- You have an NTFS partition that got borked. Linux isn’t very good at repairing those so you might have to boot into Windows.
- You managed to make your Linux unbootable and need Windows to download a live USB image.
And that’s it. Windows is less useful for fixing Linux than vice versa.
I can honestly say I’ve never had that problem.
You don’t need to tell us you don’t know what you’re doing, because it’s blatantly obvious.
