** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu)
   Importance: High => Low

** Description changed:

  Test Case 1:
  ------------
- 0. Install Windows
+ 0. Install Fedora 36 Beta
  1. Use the latest Ubuntu 22.04 daily image to install Ubuntu
  
  Expected:
- The boot menu list includes Windows
+ The boot menu list includes Fedora
  
  What happens instead:
  The system boots directly into Ubuntu without showing the grub screen since Ubuntu is the only available system.
  
- Test Case 2:
- ------------
- Same as Test Case 1 except I used Fedora 36 Beta instead of Windows
- 
  Other Info:
  ----------
- I did Test Case 2 yesterday in VirtualBox. Sorry I wiped the install because I needed the hard drive space back already. But it's easily reproducible if you have the time to do the 2 installs.
- 
- This issue was also considered important enough to mention at
- https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2022/03/ubuntu-22-04-beta-is-now-available-download
- 
- This issue was first announced here:
- https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2021-December/041769.html
- 
- A few different options were suggested such as having the Ubuntu
- installer run something like os-prober once during the install only as a
- balance between making dual boot reasonably accessible to our users
- while tightening the system security compared to previous Ubuntu
- releases.
- 
- But as far as I can tell, nothing was actually implemented from that
- discussion. And I guess this workflow has been undertested so far this
- release cycle.
+ This worked when I installed Windows 11 first then installed Ubuntu by choosing Install Alongside Windows.
