grub os prober
About this tag
The grub os prober tag covers discussions about dual-boot configurations where GRUB fails to detect or properly list installed operating systems. In a recent thread, a user migrating from Windows 10 to Fedora KDE encountered repeated issues with os-prober not recognizing their Windows installation during GRUB updates. The conversation highlights common troubleshooting steps such as regenerating the GRUB configuration, checking os-prober output, and ensuring the Windows partition is not hidden or encrypted. While the tag is Linux-focused, it is relevant to Windows users who maintain dual-boot setups and need to fix boot menu entries after system changes.
A writer at XDA took the plunge, wiped Windows from their machine after a five‑month Linux trial, and — after imaging Windows to an external drive — committed to Fedora KDE as their daily driver while experimenting with dual‑boot setups that repeatedly tripped over GRUB and os‑prober.
