Ubuntu – How to recover boot options after deleting them with EasyBCD

easybcdUbuntu

I have a dual-boot Asus notebook and I almost-accidentally deleted every boot option with EasyBCD.

Now I can only load Ubuntu, because there are no more boot options on the Windows partition.

Is there a way to boot on Windows again?

I also have a recovery partition (factory reset from Asus), but I can only access it when the first boot screen from windows appears (pressing F9). I can create a new boot option at BIOS, but I don't know what to put on the EFI file patch there. There's some .EFI files on the recovery partition…

Try repairing Windows BCD using bcdboot.exe.

You should boot Windows Recovery/Installation media (USB/DVD) using EFI boot - check firmware settings.

There is no active partition when using EFI/GPT boot method, instead there is a special EFI System partition which is involved in the initial boot process.
