Sometimes after installation of a distribution or after release release of a new kernel, Windows doesn't appear in Grub2 boot menu.
The solution often is to force detection of Windows. For this, run the following commands
sudo apt-get install os-prober
sudo os-prober
Check that Windows is detected in printing
sudo update-grub
And then reboot.
----------
If you don't get boot menu, but a black screen, and that after a few times you get login screen, Grub2 is unable to manage properly current resolution of screen. In this case, run command:
gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub2
Remove '#' before line defining screen resolution, then run command
sudo update-grub
and then reboot
