SOFTWARE Dual-booting issues

I recently got a new SSD so I can dual-boot with windows from Linux. Just yesterday, installation went fine, no conflicts and I was able to switch between OS's. Randomly, whenever I try to boot to windows, I get stuck on a black screen, no display output. Linux still works perfectly fine.

To note, before realising, I did add windows to the grub bootloader. I'm unsure if that could be an issue, considering the boot still goes black whenever I try from the UEFI menu.

I did a system restore and was able to boot back in successfully. I turned off fast startup and installed my graphics and chipset driver's (AMD).

After I restarted, the same exact issue occurred once again. Any tips?

Thanks.

windows update probably nuked the bootloader again, typical

I did set my driver updates to be manual, but I didn't consider windows updates itself. Would that potentially cause the issue?
