so I had a dualboot system with Windows 10 and Ubuntu 16.04 on the same disk. On startup I could choose between those two options. Config: sda1 + sda2 windows, sda3 ubuntu sda4 swapp
Now I've formatted the Ubuntu partition and installed Ubuntu Mate 18.04.1. I had to try multiple times, because I could no longer boot into Ubuntu, just into Windows. Since Ubuntu is my main system and windows is "just" for gaming, this was unacceptable. In the Internet there was a recommondation to use a single partition for /boot/efi. That worked. But I cannot boot into Windows anymore. With grub-customiser I've tried to manually boot from sda1 or sda2 with the chainloader option, but it does not boot. boot-repair didn't help me as well.
What can I do?

=================== Suggested repair
The default repair of the Boot-Repair utility would reinstall the grub2 of sda7 into the MBRs of all disks (except live-disks and removable disks without OS).
Grub-efi would not be selected by default because: no-win-efi
Additional repair would be performed: unhide-bootmenu-10s fix-windows-boot
