Dual booting is quite helpful if you have plenty of disk space to spare .It provides advantage over virtual OS hosting in your system you don't have to compromise over your quality.If you want to play games you can switch to windows or you want to do something efficient or like say you want to code then you can switch to linux.
But it seems sometimes that after installing any Linux distribution along side windows the grub is messed up every time you try to boot you are welcomed with a blank screen and you end up with Linux.So there is a way to recover the grub.
Please follow the instructions
Open the terminal
Find out where do you want to install the GRUB
Use the fdisk -l command on the terminal
Next use the ls command
Next step mount the partition where you want to install the GRUB
lets say you want to mount it on the sda5 partition so
use the command sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt
Now mount the partition to an alternate location
Command
sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/boot
Now create and unbreakable link from the dev folder to the live image
Command to use is sudo mount --bind
Next use the sudo chroot command
Now after doing that use the ls command
Next reinstall the GRUB boot loader to the dirve
command to use is
sudo grub-install
Now exit the chroot shell
Next unmount all the partition using sudo umount
Now reboot the system using sudo reboot command
