I dual-booted for almost five years. Never once did I have to boot to Windows to fix Linux. Sometimes I'd have to boot to Linux to fix Windows or boot to a Linux live USB to fix the bootloader that Windows broke. But never did I have to use Windows to fix Linux.
The very idea of using Windows to fix Linux seems absurd.
I can see two scenarios:
- You have an NTFS partition that got borked. Linux isn't very good at repairing those so you might have to boot into Windows.
- You managed to make your Linux unbootable and need Windows to download a live USB image.
And that's it. Windows is less useful for fixing Linux than vice versa.
