Windows 10 + Ubuntu dual boot - Windows can't boot

Question

I have a motherboard with UEFI (Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H with latest UEFI). I installed Windows 10, then installed Ubuntu 17.04 with dual boot option.

Ubuntu would boot, but due to no overscan options working for my LCD TV, I went to boot Windows. Windows proceeded to try to repair itself, and failed; startup repair fixes nothing. I want to find out how to boot Windows without wiping the hard drive.

Yes, and in the UEFI OS type is set to "Windows 8" (Options are "other" (basically BIOS-style compatibility mode), and "Windows 8 WHQL" — XtremeHacker, Jun 23 '17 at 18:09
First "Preparing automatic repair" then "Your PC/device needs to be rapaired 0x000000e" — XtremeHacker, Jun 23 '17 at 18:14
did you upgrade from win8 to win10. it appears the recovery partition is win8..... grub doesn't launch win10 for you? — ravery, Jun 23 '17 at 18:14
Grub does the same thing, and this System was setup with Windows 10 by me, it has never had Windows 8 installed. — XtremeHacker, Jun 23 '17 at 18:15
If you have windows installation disc Try this: boot from the disc and type Shift+F10 to get terminal then type bootrec /rebuildbcd — Arun, Jun 23 '17 at 18:24
Just ran that, it didn't detect any Windows installations. — XtremeHacker, Jun 23 '17 at 18:27
Please run the Boot Info Script. This will generate a file called RESULTS.txt. Post that file to a pastebin site and post the URL to your document here. This will give us more details about your configuration, which is required to base an answer on more than guesswork. — Rod Smith, Jun 24 '17 at 13:32

I think you need to install boot-repair. type these commands in the terminal to install boot-repair:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair && boot-repair

now launch the boot-repair by typing "boot-repair" in the terminal, Then click the "Recommended repair" button. When repair is finished, reboot and check if you recovered access to your OSs. i hope it will work. because it worked for me.

That didn't work, I'm going to try to rebuild the BCD. – XtremeHacker Jun 23 '17 at 18:26
