    In windows EFI partition, there will be an EFI/Microsoft/bootmgfw.efi file, I usually rename it to bootmgfw.efi.bak and that allows grub to load.

        Windows will not boot with this method. By renaming the file back to bootmgfw.efi windows will boot again but now linux won’t boot. There is no clean solution, other than switch to different computer that doesn’t have this issue. Because of issues like this I don’t recommend dual booting. Installing only Windows or only Linux is more manageable for not-tech-savvy people.
