Upvoted because your experience is valid, but I will say that mercifully so far, I haven't had this issue personally. Instead, rather, my Windows 10 installation is basically broken because MS pushed an update that requires it to enlarge the recovery partition, but because there's another OS past the recovery partition, it can't. So whenever I use it now, I need to wait for it to try updating itself, recognize that it failed, and then undo the updates and boot again (the entire process takes 10+ minutes). I only use this partition for emergencies where something critical absolutely won't work on Linux, but it's still hilarious to me that this happened shortly after I abandoned ship.
