   I'm no expert in this area, but I noticed something in your grub.cfg file:   
      
   Windows 10   
      
        parttool ${root} hidden-   
        drivemap -s (hd0) ${root}   
        chainloader +1   
      
   vs   
      
   Windows 7   
      
        parttool ${root} hidden-   
        chainloader +1   
      
      
   Is it intentional, or accidental?   
   Perhaps the section has been generated by os-prober, automatically.   
      
   It occurs to me that maybe W10 has been designed to play nice, while W7   
   has not.

   Cheers, Carlos.
