Unable to boot into Windows after Ubuntu 14.04.3 installation

Question

After installing and restarting my laptop I keep getting booted into Ubuntu and can't find any method for using a bootloader.

Answer 1

Disable GRUB hidden timeout.

Open a terminal and execute:

sudo apt-get install gksu  

gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub  

Place a # in front of GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0

So that it reads now: #GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0

Save the change - close the file and ... execute:

sudo update-grub  

Now you should see the GRUB boot loader on start.

There should be a Windows entry in the boot menu.
