Ubuntu 16.04 / Windows 10 Dual Boot

So I built a desktop and loaded Ubuntu 16.04 alongside Windows 10. Everything worked wonderfully for about six months and then we had a baby. I didn't log into Windows for nearly a year and when I tried recently, it didn't work. Typical response is that Grub comes up, I select Windows 10 and I get a blank purple screen that just hangs. Other times, I'll get a Windows diagnostic screen that allows me to try to "repair my PC." I ran the Ubuntu Boot Repair at one point with no success. Nothing seems to work.
Complicating issues is said baby. I have maybe a half an hour every night to work on this, so it's been tough dedicating some effort. So I apologize for my lackluster information here.
Does anybody have any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Have you tried booting directly from the windows hd/partition? I hit f12 for my motherboard and it brings up a list of all the hard drives. From that list select the windows one (there might be two, one labled UEFI, try both). If you haven't logged on in a year you'll probably have to update. You might want to set your bios to boot first from the windows drive till you have this resolved because a lot of times windows reboots while updating or repairing.
Congrats on the baby. I know the drill ;-)
