I was earlier dual booting Fedora29 plus windows 10 successfully. I reformatted partitions while installing Fedora30 (Except EFI partition of course)
Comment 2 kksheth 2019-05-13 06:25:39 UTC 
Reinstalled Windows 10. (Fresh by deleting all partitions). Then installed Fedora 30. Same situation
Comment 3 kksheth 2019-05-16 06:32:26 UTC 
solved.
In windows, opened command prompt with admin rights and used command
bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\fedora\grubx64.efi 

It appears that may be fedora do not have any problem. may be problem with windows overwriting boot sequence. 
however, i was booting successfully in this same system with fedora 29. So, i am not clear whose fault.

You may close the bug.
