Dual boot - Grub has no entry

Hi,
After running BL on a dual boot for more than 2 years, I woke up this morning and my computer immediately boot in Windows without entering the grub menu. I thought it was due to something messing up with my dual boot (e.g., IT services performing update overnight).

So I reinstalled the grub menu from the live installer following this post.

I now have a grub but it is empty (only *System setup is there).

From the installer, it seems that the grub still has the entry:

root@debian:~# efibootmgr -v

Any idea what I could have messed? and how to solve this?

[update:]
I re-booted on the live usb. Then I did the chroot part form the post mentioned above:

mkdir /target
mount /dev/sda2 /target
mount /dev/sda1 /target/boot/efi
for i in /sys /proc /dev; do mount --bind $i /target$i; done
chroot /target

Then I followed with:

grub-install /dev/sda
update-grub

I worked! I can now boot my linux partition.
The problem is that I don't see my Windows partition from the grub anymore... Any cue would be welcomed.

Re: Dual boot - Grub has no entry

Try:

grub-mkconfig

and the output will go to your screen. See what it tells you.

grub-mkconfig-o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

if you don't have a UEFI BIOS. May have to edit the path to grub.cfg.
