[Bug 1667261] [NEW] Problem installing grub to a Win10 installation

[Holger Wenner]

Public bug reported:

Yesterday I installed successfully Xubuntu (1st installation) next to Win10.
This Morning no grub menu showed up to select which OS to boot.
I tried to reinstall Xubuntu and the result ended in this error message.
One of my attempts was to install it manually and I saw that when  I was moving the
mouse or turning the wheel the location of where to install grub changed.
Maybe this led to the problem.
