I was running low on space on my C drive, so I shrank my linux /home partition, leaving around 30gb of free space. This, however, was adjacent to a 16mb windows reserved partition. I moved this partition to the left of the unallocated space, and extended the partition on which my c drive was on to the left. Both operations seemed to have been completed successfully according to gparted, so I rebooted. (I use the refind bootloader) and booted into windows. The logo and loading circle popped up for around 5 seconds, and then shut off and restarted. This time I went into bios and booted into the windows entry directly but to no avail, the exact same thing happened.

Since then I've tried prepared a windows repair usb, tried bootrec and chkdsk. It outputs the operation was successful, after rebooting I get the usual windows recovery screen, restart again and it hasn't fixed the problem.

    Best bet might be to restore the disk from the last complete image. Commented Aug 4, 2019 at 2:11
  • Never use gparted on Windows partitions and don't move essential boot partitions without taking a disk image backup. You might try to reproduce the previous situation exactly if you don't have such a backup.
