After multi-boot installing Ubuntu, my Windows 8 will not boot anymore.

I can enter the System Repair interface and open a command line. But when I execute the bcdedit command, it says : 

X:\windows\system32>bcdedit
The boot configuration data store could not be opened
The system cannot find the file specified

I spent hours on the Internet searching for solutions but could not find any satisfying answer.

The easiest way is to get an Ubuntu live USB, boot from it, then install boot-repair (you can read the wiki first), and apply it's recommended repairs.

If this doesn't work, I recommend using a windows 8 cd/dvd/usb, boot from it, repair windows boot (not the entire system) - don't mind if it removes grub. Then boot from the ubuntu usb, and apply boot-repair on the drive.

Your problems are probably caused by UEFI bios in your computer, you should check on how to install ubuntu alongside windows on a uefi system.
