After installation I can not boot my Windows

n case you’ve installed Gnoppix Linux, while booting you missing your Windows or other OS installations

edit the file /etc/default/grub (as root/admin user)

search for Line 17

 17 #GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false

remove the ‘#’

 17 GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false

and re-run

sudo update-grub

The cause? The OS_prober feature is disabled by default in GRUB 2.06, which is the version included in Gnoppix 23. This is an upstream change designed to counter potential security issues with the OS-detecting feature (it mounts partitions to check for other OSes, this could be taken advantage of, etc).

So, for the moment, Gnoppix 23 (or more accurately GRUB in Gnoppix 23) does not detect any other operating system during or after install.
