Description of problem: Anaconda does not create a GRUB entry for Windows when installing Fedora to dualboot. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-28.22.7-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Windows to /dev/sda 2. Use gparted to resize the ntfs partition or let Anaconda do it 3. Install Fedora, either from Live CD or from netinst (the behaviour is the same) 4. After the installation is complete, reboot. 5. Check the Grub entries. Actual results: Anaconda does not create a Windows entry Expected results: Windows entry is created and able to boot. Additional info: We were able to find a following workaround: 1. Boot the installed Fedora. 2. Install os-prober (dnf install os-prober) 3. Regenerete Grub confing (grub2-mkconfig -o /etc/grub2.cfg) 4. Reboot and see that the entry has been added. This behaviour and workaround is the same for EFI systems as well.
Proposed as a Blocker for 28-final by Fedora user lruzicka using the blocker tracking app because: This behaviour breaks the release criteria "The installer must be able to install into free space alongside an existing clean Windows installation and install a bootloader which can boot into both Windows and Fedora. " because it does not allow booting into Windows. Therefore I am proposing this as a blocker.

Reassigning to grub2. Peter, can you confirm whether this was intentional or a mistake? Is anaconda supposed to carry the dependency itself now?
