[Bug 954790] Re: Windows 7 detected by os-prober, but not by GRUB2

[YannUbuntu]

User reports that he solved his problem by running Grub-Customizer and ticking the "Os-prober" option of his Windows entry, which probably means that there was a "GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true" entry in his /etc/default/grub .
Now investigating why os-prober was inactivated.


** Changed in: grub2 (Ubuntu)
