My bootloader has survived just fine despite being dual boot for the past 2 years. It may have something to do with me only having booted windows once in all that time (to fix a borked NTFS drive) 😁

    That certainly helps.

    In my case the solution is two EFI partitions.

    Windows finds the first and doesn't bother looking for a second one, which happens to contain grub and my efistubs.

    Windows will go ahead and clear the UEFI menu sometimes, but manually booting an efi file and then re-adding the grub and stub boot entries is small compared to having my stuff actually deleted.
