Ubuntu Server dual boot prevents booting to windows

Question

I wanted to install an ubuntu server as a dual boot option along side my windows system. During install I created a partition to install the server and I am certain this worked just fine. The problem that I am running into is that the server install dwon't allow me to boot to windows. When I change the boot sequence it changes it back.

I have been trying to find a solution to fix my windows bootloader and delete the ubuntu server but have not been able to make a lot of progres.

How would I achieve this from the server commando line?

Kind regards

The reason why I could not boot to my Windows is because on installment ubuntu, which should have been installed on a separate partition, had wiped my disk clean.

Certainly not my first time installing a dual-boot system, but this has never happened to me. If my memory serves me right, the partition that I had created was already merged back to the rest of the drive prior to getting the option where to install.

I am not certain what exactly caused this and I am not feeling like trying to find out what I did wrong. Assuming it is my fault, as I reckon the installation only does what I tell it to.

Unfortunately I can't upvote this answer if you posted it is an answer to Unable to boot into Windows after installing Ubuntu, how to fix? because it doesn't say how to fix it even though it's interesting to know that. If you copy/pasted this answer as an answer to Unable to boot into Windows after installing Ubuntu, how to fix? instead, I would upvote it though. – karel Aug 09 '19 at 07:40
