How to protect Linux on dual boot from Win 10 upgrades on SSD?

The other week, a Windows 10 upgrade botched both Windows and a Linux distro.

MXLinux 17 has a boot repair app that could be used to repair MBR etc. for such scenarios but i prefer working with Solus Budgie. Could this app. be used there too?

Open to other solutions, but hopefully not too complicated for a non-geek like me.

Use the boot media of the linux distro to boot into Linux.
Then reinstall Grub:

grub install /dev/sdaX

The boot repair tool is available primarliy for Ubuntu/Debian derived distros.
A simple search found this for Solus.

Just type in terminal "grub install /dev/sdaX" sounds simple enough for me!

You can also check the boot sequence in the UEFI Bios of your computer.

Ive disabled my windows update service. It hasn't tried to break my computer since.

Unfortunately you start running a risk without updates.

If one is lucky they can install a single OS on a dedicated drive and place loader on each to help avoid all of this.
