From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Wasn't there news of a Windows update breaking dual booting recently? Could be that?
Yeah but that broke GRUB and had a pretty specific error message associated with it. I don't think problems with grub look like what OP is describing (although I don't know enough to say for sure).
Anecdotally, I'm running a Fedora Atomic-based OS alongside Windows and that Windows update didn't cause any problems for me.
