Problems dual booting with W10

I will start by saying that this is a W10 problem, because my Arch Linux installation works well, but I hope you can help me.

I have a computer dual booting W10 and AL. This is something I have done many times, and never until recently I had so many problems.

I use grub to choose between AL and W10. AL always works well, while booting into W10 fails like 50% of the times. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesnt and it gets stuck in a black screen. If this is the case, I need to reboot it a few more times (hard reboot using the power button), and then eventually goes into repair mode. Here I usually click to try to repair start-up, and it usually says there's nothing to repair, and reboots. Sometimes it will go, sometimes it will go to a black screen. Sometimes the first boot goes fine into W10, sometimes I spend like 30 minutes hard rebooting.

I have no idea what the problem might be. I don't know if it is related to some W10 update. I have a laptop with a similar config (W10 and AL) and here it always works well.

I know this is a W10, but I can't find any info around, and I hope you can help me.

Re: Problems dual booting with W10

Have you disabled Windows Fast Startup to avoid problems with Linux mounting the drive causing corruption?

Re: Problems dual booting with W10

Did you try fixing the windows efi partition with the w10 installation media instead of using the start-up repair option? Additionally you can watch this video if it helps: https://youtu.be/Z6KIV8vvkCg even tho is in spanish you can follow the commands
