I don't understand what went wrong with the second attempt you just described. (I assume you already understand what went wrong when you didn't have grub2-mkconfig store its output in the right place).
Whatever went wrong, won't be fixed by copying that menu entry. If I understand your intent, you would be copying it from the output of grub2-mkconfig back to the input of grub2-mkconfig (which would not be at all helpful).
What do you mean by "boot screen wouldn't show windows"? (How experienced are you with grub?)
The default for grub may not be showing any menu at all. You might need to press a key at the appropriate moment during startup to even see the menu (or you could change some other setting to make displaying the menu be automatic).
Mainly I'm saying that before someone helps you understand why you don't see the Windows line of the grub menu, it would help to be sure you are seeing a grub menu at all.
