Bug Description

I had Ubuntu installed on my hard disk before and Kali Linux and Windows on my SSD. I deleted Kali and Ubuntu and decided to install Ubuntu on SSD. Then i probably did something wrong, so I ended with not being able to run Windows from Boot Menu, only grub would start. All Windows files were there, but i couldn't start it. Then I simply formatted the whole SSD and installed Windows again. I shrank C: and left 50GB of Unallocated Space for Ubuntu. Before all of that, I downloaded Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS and put it on USB using Rufus. I have EFI partition on my SSD, so in Ubuntu installation i only added /, swap area and /home. I tried many other things, but none worked. I would really appreciate your help.

Regards,
Aleksa Prtenjaca
