I'm using a dual-boot setup with grub 2.02-beta2 which allows me to switch between Windows 7 and arch linux on a x64 desktop machine.These are both installed on my C: drive on the same physical HDD. (A common solution was to switch in the BIOS to boot from the windows HDD, this is not possible for me)Now Microsoft released a troublesome October 2016 Security update whose installation fails upon reboot when you use a GRUB bootloader. Thus I'm trying to achieve the following:Somehow disable the GRUB bootloader so that my PC automatically boots into windows, without losing any Linux data (one partition on C and one partition on D)Install all the updates, reboot a few timesUsing a Live CD or similar, restore the previous configuration I had for GRUB, without data loss
Temporarily disabling/uninstalling grub in a dual-boot setup and then restore grub to the state it was at the start
