Initramfs error whenever booting Ubuntu after booting windows

I've got a dual boot of Ubuntu with windows and Ubuntu and occasionally I use windows for things that I need to do and every time I seen to do that, it causes an initramfs error which says Error: no pointer back to namespace node in package 0000000 I know the basic fix to this sudo update-initramfs -u which works temporarily but then the error comes back every time I boot windows then Ubuntu.

Is there a permanent solution to this problem? I know it can be ignored but it is concerning and annoying to put up with. Thank you

Solution 1:

Ubuntu

Do these commands:

sudo update-initramfs -c -k $(uname -r) # we create a new ramdisk

reboot # we reboot the computer

BIOS

Disable Secure Boot.

Windows

We disable fast boot and hibernation:

• boot into Windows
• open the Power control panel
• choose change what the power buttons do
• choose change options that are unavailable
• uncheck fast startup
• close the Power control panel
• open an administrative command prompt window
• type powercfg /h off
• type chkdsk /f c:
• approve to run chkdsk at next reboot
• reboot into Windows to let chkdsk run on drive C:
