Because only your personal political views on operating systems are valid?

Yes you did. Thank you for pointing him to a starting place.

Perhaps, but it wasn't, and other people actually tried to help the
OP, who, by the way, IS apparently seeing this issue on a Linux box as
well:

"I already have Ubuntu (32 bit) and Mint (64) installed on the same
machine. So, I have a triple boot and the reason why I posted this
question is the problem initially started on Windows boot only (and
still exists) on Windows **and later  on Ubuntu**. Should have clarified
this before."

** Emphasis mine
But perhaps you were too busy TL;DRing to notice the detail there

"Give a man a fish and he will have food for a day.
Learn a man to fish and he will never be hungry again."

But unfortunately, all you really did was throw him a hook and a pole
and said, go find them yourself.  Your response did not teach him
anything, other than to stay away from Linux groups because of the
asshattery.
