I had a dual boot system with ubuntu and win10 but tonight windows attempted an update which has messed it up and left me in grub rescue.

You have to put an Ubuntu ISO onto a USB stick and boot from that. After loading the live version of Ubuntu you'll have to chroot into your system and update-grup. Grub will find all your partitions, both Windows and Linux, and you'll be able to choose at boot time again.
