Hi,
I have a problem in setting up dual boot system. I had Kubuntu 18.04 LTS and Windows 10 dual boot desktop with UEFI - GPT partition table settings. Both of them are on a 256 GB SSD. Each one is 100gb in size rest is empty.
Both of them were working fine and life was awesome, till I decided to mess it up and install opensuse on top of kubuntu.
I deleted the kubuntu partition and installed opensuse 15 leap one top of it 64 bit using the btrfs partition type.
There were no errors shown during the installation process. Last notification shown before the restart was,

Windows works as if nothing has happened to it.
Window now shows -
