I have a dual boot of Ubuntu (20.04) and Windows 11 on a single ssd. Everything worked fine, but suddenly (that is without any change in configurations I am aware of, any update I am aware of or anything like that), I cannot load into windows. I see the same options in the boot menu as before, but when I try to boot into windows, it just says "error: cannot load image".
What I tried so far:
sudo update-grub returns
Sourcing file `/etc/default/grub'
Sourcing file `/etc/default/grub.d/init-select.cfg'
Generating grub configuration file ...

Found Windows Boot Manager on /dev/nvme0n1p1@/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi
Adding boot menu entry for UEFI Firmware Settings
done
and fixes nothing
Os prober on the windows partition returns
dev/nvme0n1p1@/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi:Windows Boot Manager:Windows:efi
and also fixes nothing.
Trying to troubleshoot the windows installation from a usb installation image also says, that the repair failed and restoring to a point before last update (about a week ago, worked in between) also didn't help.
I found this question: windows 10 image not found in grub and have very similar results
I can access all the data from the Ubuntu partition, even during the repair process from the installation flash drive everything seemed to be fine on the side of windows, but for some reason, I just cannot boot into it. Any ideas what could be wrong and how to fix it?
EDIT1: when I try to boot into windows using windows boot manager, it starts with a hardware scan and then says that there are no bootable devices. Seems like the issue is not on the side of grub/Ubuntu, but that is where I am trying to fix it from, since I don't have access elsewhere.
