Greetings,
After a recent Fedora 36 update, I'm getting an error message when
selecting "Windows Boot Manager" from the GRUB menu. Instead of booting
like it had previously, it gives me an almost blank screen with the
following text in the upper left:
/EndEntire
And all I can do at that point is shut down and restart my computer, go
to it's boot menu, and sekect
Windows Boot Manager, in order to boot into Windows.
I've been dual-booting Fedora 36 and Windows for weeks prior to this one
without issue.
What version? Current is 2.06-45.fc36 and there are a few complaints.
That version.

I commented on the bug. Thanks for the link.
dnf downgrade will get you the -29 version which is a ways back, but also easy and will get you working. But to avoid it getting updated and breaking again in the near future you'll need to add an exclude in the dnf.conf (man dnf.conf) for "grub2-*"
Set a reminder though, you'll eventually want to update it and it might even prevent a system upgrade from getting a new version (or even failing, I'm not really sure).
Thanks. I went with that and added the exclude ti dnf.conf
An alternative is to:
rpm -qa | grep grub2
That'll get you a list of all the grub2 packages you'lll need to download from here:
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1977609
That's the -42 version which should work. Then you have the packages locally and you can just put them in a directory and if you do an update that steps on this version again, you can just cd to that dir and do "dnf downgrade *rpm" and it'll use the local rpm files.
I'm too lazy for that ish. I'll just hold on to the -29 version for a while and follow up in a week.
If you have a Fedora account or RGBZ account you can add yourself to the bug.

I do and I did.
Thanks for your help. Much appreciated! :)
