Hello Level 1 linux! First time, long time.
I’ve searched around for answers to my issue but have not yet found a solution. I just updated from Ubuntu 18.04 to 20.04, and in the process I seemed to have removed my dual boot screen and access to the bios in the boot up process. I have tried resetting the cmos, and the default boot-repair through the GUI. I cannot boot into windows whatsoever, but those partitions are still there.
When I boot up the screen is blank until the Ubuntu login screen displays. I am relatively new to linux so I’m assuming I accidentally selected an option I didn’t want in the upgrade process. I have a file of my boot info summary from boot repair if that would help. Thanks for any help.
Boot-info!

Suggested repair: ______________________________________________________________
The default repair of the Boot-Repair utility would reinstall the grub-efi-amd64-signed of
sda4,
using the following options: sda3/boot/efi,
Additional repair would be performed: unhide-bootmenu-10s win-legacy-basic-fix use-standard-efi-file restore-efi-backups
Final advice in case of suggested repair: ______________________________________
Please do not forget to make your UEFI firmware boot on the The OS now in use - Ubuntu 20.04 LTS CurrentSession entry (sda3/efi//shim.efi (**** will be updated in the final message) file) !
If your computer reboots directly into Windows, try to change the boot order in your UEFI firmware.
If your UEFI firmware does not allow to change the boot order, change the default boot entry of the Windows bootloader.
For example you can boot into Windows, then type the following command in an admin command prompt:
bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI*\shim*.efi (**** will be updated in the final message)
