Grub Not Detecting Windows After Installing Linux on Separate Drive

Hi everyone,

I recently installed Fedora 40 on a second SSD in my system that already had Windows 11 installed on the primary drive. The installation went smoothly & Fedora runs great.  😊 However; GRUB doesn’t detect my Windows 11 install at all there’s no dual-boot menu & it boots straight into Linux. I have already disabled Secure Boot & Fast Boot in the BIOS before installing. 🤔 

I tried running sudo os-prober and sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg; but Windows still isn’t showing up in the GRUB menu. Both drives are GPT with UEFI, and the Windows EFI partition is still intact and visible from within Linux. 🙃

I am wondering if this is a UEFI path issue, a GRUB config problem / something else I have missed. 😑 Checked https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/758353/resolving-dual-boot-issue-windows-not-showing-in-grub-menu- CCSP Course guide related to this and found it helpful. 

Has anyone successfully resolved this issue with a dual-drive, dual-boot setup? 🤔 I'd love to avoid reinstalling either OS. A clean, safe fix to get GRUB to recognize Windows would be greatly appreciated.

 

 

 

Thank you !! 😊
