How to temporarily disable restore Windows Boot manager for updates
Whenever I try to update windows to a new version, it always fails to install when I try to boot it through grub. I don't think the grub entry for windows allows for it to properly update versions. Minor updates like defender or other applications work fine. I have Windows Boot manager entries in my bios but they aren't functional. There are also other boot entries for various efi files for windows in grub but they don't work either. The only way I can boot into Windows is through a particular grub entry.
I have tried running boot repair to restore the mbr but it didn't overwrite grub and rendered my Windows 10 unbootable from anywhere. I restored to a backup image.
How do I temporarily restore Windows boot manager as the main boot loader without it erasing my Ubuntu partition? How do I restore grub afterwards without using boot-repair (it has messed up my system before too many times)? I have a GPT partition with Secure boot enabled. Most of the answers I see are for the legacy bios loader or permanently deleting grub and ubuntu or otherwise old and outdated.
I'm running Ubuntu 18.04 with Windows 10 Insider Build 18329. I've had this issue before with stable versions of Windows and only solution was fresh install which I don't want to do every time there's a version update.
