Microsoft’s latest security update has ruined dual-boot Windows and Linux PCs
The update wasn’t supposed to reach dual-boot PCs.

Doesn't Windows break dual booting semi-regularly? I've always avoided it as I've had friends get burned by this in the past. I guess I just keep different OSes on different drives, but that obviously isn't feasible for everyone.
I know that used to be the case. It's why I stopped trying to use a dual-booting system and instead just installed windows in Virtualbox.
Yeah, it did get me to stop also a dual boot with Linux. I'm mostly Windows, so I've just used Linux in VMs.
WSL?
Legit have never had an issue with multi boot and windows like ever, tbf I don't go into windows that frequently anymore but it's never given me grief in at least a decade. I know my experience isn't universal though, so sorry to anyone who does have boot issues after windows updates.
In the worst case, could use bcdedit and use the windows boot loader (tbh I have no idea if that works here, but could be worth a try)
It’s a lot better in uefi, MBR dual booting was always sort of hacky.
I have dualboot set-up on my MacBook and have no. But it is a long time ago, since I last started macOS and my Mac would not get new macOS updates anyway😂 that was the reason to install Linux in the first place 😝
In this day and age the only place i'd install Windows is a VM.
