I tried adding grubx64.efi in the Windows Boot Manager using BCDEdit. However when I boot up my computer and try to start GRUB from Windows Boot Manager by clicking on the entry I created, I get:
File: \EFI\ubuntu\grubx64.efi
Status: 0xc000007b
Info: The application or operating system couldn't be loaded because a required file is missing or contains errors.
I know that the efi file works because I can boot GRUB up, from the same file, from the same location (the ESP partition) using an EFI shell, such as the one found in this answer: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/63898/167564
Here's my bcdedit
output:

As you can see by the output, the last entry was the one I experimented trying to get Grub to work, the one that says "Real-mode Boot Sector". I created it by creating a copy of "{bootmgr}", and renaming it to "Grub Test", and changing the path to where grub was located. I saw this answer, and it says the correct entry is bootsector, so I went into regedit and changed it from "Windows Boot Manager" to "Real-mode Boot Sector", by changing values under BCD00000000 as explained in this post: Windows 8.1 UEFI x64 is not able to boot-up UEFI Images
I also tried changing it to:
0x10100003
(Firmware Application)0x10100002
(Windows Boot Manager)0x10200003
(Windows Boot Loader)0x10400008
(Real-mode Boot Sector)0x20200008
(Inherited Settings)
However they all ended up with:
File: \EFI\ubuntu\grubx64.efi
Status: 0xc000007b
Info: The application or operating system couldn't be loaded because a required file is missing or contains errors.
Can I somehow make Windows Boot Manager be able to boot Grub? I searched all over the Internet and couldn't find anything of use to me, I'm kind of frustrated.
Also, secure boot is turned off.
