Description: GRand Unified Bootloader (common files for version 2)
 This package contains common files shared by the distinct flavours of GRUB.
 The files in this package are specific to GRUB 2, and would break GRUB
 Legacy if installed on the same system

I can "fix it" temporarily doing grub-install /dev/sda but next windows reboot it fails again.

I have forced windows to use "\EFI\ubuntu\grubx64.efi" so I am not sure if grub2 is to blame, but on ubuntu 19.04 this seemed to work correctly.
