I dual-booted for almost five years. Never once did I have to boot to Windows to fix Linux. Sometimes I'd have to boot to Linux to fix Windows or boot to a Linux live USB to fix the bootloader that Windows broke. But never did I have to use Windows to fix Linux.
The very idea of using Windows to fix Linux seems absurd.

Add it to the list of things that have literally never happened. A Linux LiveUSB/LiveCD? Sure

How do u want to repair Linux from ur windows system? There is not even a way to mount ext / zfs / btrfs / … into windows…

WSL access to CLI as admin
troubleshoot hardware issues
use bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\ubuntu\grubx64.efi to fix bootloader issue
can disable fast startup
create a boot repair USB

Most of this sub sounds like how old people explain tech problems badly. It's clear they can't be bothered to search and find out what is going on.
Linux will let you break it. It isn't meant for people who can't be bothered with learning or consequences but insist on being superuser.

You don't need to tell us you don't know what you're doing, because it's blatantly obvious.

I can see two scenarios:
And that's it. Windows is less useful for fixing Linux than vice versa.
