16.04 - Windows wont boot after installing ubuntu

I know there are a lot of questions about this around here but I have yet to find a solution for my problem.



I have windows 10 on my SSD in my /C: disk, and since today Ubuntu 16.04 on my HDD, which is the /E: disk.




After installing ubuntu I could no longer boot back into my windows.
While creating the partitions I noticed something called Windows boot loader disappeared (I think). Im guessing this has to do with the problem



I have tried using boot-repair to fix the issues, which managed to show me the GRUB boot menu, but still windows is not listed there. I also got an error while doing the repair, this is the pastebin:

I also tried things like



$ ntfsfix /dev/[partition]



but this gives me the following:



Mounting volume... Windows is hibernated, refused to mount.
FAILED
Attempting to correct errors...
Processing $MFT and $MFTMirr...
Reading $MFT... OK
Reading $MFTMirr... OK

Comparing $MFTMirr to $MFT... OK
Processing of $MFT and $MFTMirr completed successfully.
Setting required flags on partition... OK
Going to empty the journal ($LogFile)... OK
Windows is hibernated, refused to mount.
Remount failed: Operation not permitted


Trying to go into the disk through the file explorer gives the following error:




Error mounting /dev/sdb1 at /media/maxoe/Harddisk: Command-line `mount       -t "ntfs" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000" "/dev/sdb1" "/media/maxoe/Harddisk"' exited with non-zero exit status 14: Windows is hibernated, refused to mount.
Failed to mount '/dev/sdb1': Operation not permitted
The NTFS partition is in an unsafe state. Please resume and shutdown
Windows fully (no hibernation or fast restarting), or mount the volume
read-only with the 'ro' mount option.


At this point Im completely clueless and Im starting to think I might have lost everything on my windows disk.



Any help would be welcome!




UPDATE



This is the output after running "sudo update-grub":
