This is most likely a grub issue - the defaults have changed to *not*
run os-prober by default.

If so, edit /etc/default/grub and set GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false
then run update-grub this will fix your problem. Or run
dpkg-reconfigure on your grub package (either grub-pc or
grub-efi-amd64) and the latest grub packages will ask you about
os-prober.
