0xc00000e9 Windows Error and dual boot - can bootrepair, grub or Linux fdisk repair this?

0

I get a 0xc00000e9 error when I try to boot Windows 10 of my dual boot system. See picture below.

I read many posts on this error, but they all feature Windows-based solutions - using a Win 10 install disk or stick.

However, I dread using a Windows-based solution, I fear it may corrupt GRUB, MBR, etc.

So, I wonder if I can repair my system boot using bootrepair or GRUB, or any other Linux-based solution?

Some notes:

  1. Linux (Mint 20) boots without a hiccup.
  2. The system does read the Windows partition and Windows files. I can explore Windows folders and files. The UEFI / BIOS recognise the files and folders. See pic below. It is unlikely there is an issue with the cables or hardware.
  3. I disabled CSM support, (even though the picture below shows otherwise, I changed this setting).
  4. Fdisk output is shown below.
