Fixed In Version: os-prober-1.58-6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: Lack of proper data to identify a Windows installation. Consequence: Windows 10 shows up as recovery partition if it could be detected, or failure to detect Windows at all. Fix: Add support for Windows 10 Result: Can now detect Windows 10 and installations where the OS identifying file is a binary mode file instead of a text mode file.
