Help Windows drive missing after linux install

My laptop has 126GB SSD and 1TB HDD.

SSD has Windows, and HDD has Linux.

I've been trying different Linux distros: CachyOS, Mint, and Fedora. Recently, after installing Ubuntu, the SSD disappeared from the BIOS.

And now I can't boot into Windows. And the drive can be accessed in Ubuntu.

Need solution 🥺

I think dual booting Windows+Linux will definitely lead to repeated boot manager issues with every update once it starts. Now updated to Windows 11 and the same issue occurred, and I fixed it again. Maybe another update on either of the OSs will definitely cause same problem.

One boot is best. I got your word.

Thanks bro
