I have installed Ubuntu 16.04 on my laptop alongside with Windows 10 and it was working well with grub to choose which OS I want to boot into UNTIL windows did update and I got grub rescue error when turning on my laptop. I googled it and used Boot-Repair (the recommended repair) to fix it and when restart, it boot directly to windows without grub and I no more able to access Ubuntu. I tried several solutions but nothing fixed the problem. I tried again with Boot-Repair and got this output http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/QVV7FRPmFB/ In Ubuntu live-USB when trying to install Ubuntu I don't get reinstall I got only install and I see the following partitions.
