Yes, by using the F12 key, I can display the EFI start menu and start Windows with the "Windows Boot Manager" line.

This is a test machine that follows the development of "Ubuntu next". Initially installed with Ubuntu 17.10 beta, it has followed the updates of all Ubuntu development versions (18.04, 18.10, ...) until today. Now in 19.10, it will soon switch to Ubuntu Focal 20.04).

The Windows part has been re-installed from scratch with an Windows 10 18.03 USB flash drive installer and regularly updated. Now running W10-19.03.

After installing Windows, Grub was re-installed by starting the machine with Ubuntu-Live 18.04 and then entering the following commands:
$ sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt
$ for i in dev sys proc dev/pts; do sudo mount -o bind /$i /mnt/$i; done
$ sudo chroot /mnt
# apt purge grub-common grub-efi grub-efi-amd64 grub-efi-amd64-bin grub-efi-amd64-signed grub2-common
# apt install grub-common grub-efi grub-efi-amd64 grub-efi-amd64-bin grub-efi-amd64-signed grub2-common
# update-grub
(... reboot → Ubuntu ...)
$ sudo update-grub

Everything was working well until more or less half-time of 19.10 developpement.

Here my partitioning :
