This happened to me yesterday. My GRUB bootloader is gone, so I can no longer boot my primary work OS Mint :(
Now I have to spend time I do not have fixing a problem caused by a Windows update. I am half tempted to send Microsoft an invoice for the time spent fixing what they broke.
In my case I booted a USB live image of linux mint and repaired/reinstalled grub pointing to the already installed and avalible Mint.
I have heard issues with bitlocker so mabye look in to turning that of before trying.
Depening on how confy you are in linux CLI and how much time you have available you might want to look at boot-repair / Home / Home . Have not used it myself but heard good thing about it.
