To fix the winload.efi error permanently, try the following:
Repair the Boot Configuration: Open Command Prompt as Administrator and run:
bootrec /rebuildbcd
bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot
Set the Correct Boot Partition: Use bcdedit to set the correct boot loader for the problematic Windows installation:
Type bcdedit to list the boot entries, then use bcdedit /default {ID} to set the correct boot entry.
Disable Fast Startup: Go to Control Panel > Power Options > Choose what the power buttons do > Change settings that are currently unavailable, and uncheck Turn on fast startup.
This should help the changes stick after restarts.
