I keep Linux and windows on separate disks, grub or windows boot manager don't know about each other. I have the Linux disk as the primary boot, if I need to boot into windows i use the bios boot selection screen. It's a bit of a pain at times(have to mash F12 to get the bios boot menu) bit it's less of a headache than trying to fix grub

I took this approach as well but I let Grub add Windows as a boot option. No mashing keys at post and Windows doesn't get to touch Grub or Debian.

I have considered adding windows to grub, but these days I hardly boot into windows so there is probably not much point.

Ah, I see, there really is a way 😁👌🏻
