Can't boot into Windows 10 anymore

Question

I currently dual booting between Ubuntu and Windows 10. However, whenever I try to boot from Windows 10 in grub it simply restarts and brings me right back to grub again.

I used boot-repair to create a pastebin:

http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/pzJqP55FVV/

It's too long to paste it here.

But I have no idea what anything in the pastebin really means or how to fix grub. I have tried updating grub but the same problem occurs.

I ran sudo ntfsfix -b -d /dev/sda1 and got

Mounting volume... Failed to load runlist for $MFT/$DATA.
highest_vcn = 0x32cfb, last_vcn - 1 = 0x4027f

Volume is corrupt. You should run chkdsk.

I think that your windows has not fully shut down. Either you have fast boot option enabled in windows or something else happened. However, try to boot into windows from grub command line (check here https://askubuntu.com/questions/833006). — velix, May 12 '18 at 21:20
Boot into Ubuntu and run- sudo update-grub First see if it works.. — HattinGokbori87, May 12 '18 at 21:23
Looking at your boot-repair log you definitely have a problem with Windows. Unfortunately though it's a Windows problem and off-topic in Ask Ubuntu. I suggest you post the problem in Super User. — WinEunuuchs2Unix, May 13 '18 at 00:57
I ended up just reformatting from scratch. Luckily I didn't really have anything important on this computer. — NotSoTuringComplete, May 13 '18 at 19:15

Attempt to repair the NTFS drive from linux. Per this solution, do the following:

Install ntfs-3g with sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g . Then run the ntfsfix command on your NTFS partition

sudo ntfsfix -b -d /dev/sdaX

if ntfsfix won't or can't fix your drive, you will have to run chkdsk from windows. You can boot from Hiren's miniXP boot disk and use the command line there to run chkdsk.
