Here's the output:

I've seen that is an outstanding bug. As you can see the menu entry
for Windoze is borked. I gather that this is an upstream problem.

Thank you,

Hello Antonio,
                    does the same problem happen when you run the command
your self on that device?

sudo /usr/sbin/grub-probe
