Dual boot ignores EFI devices
My pc does not boot anymore in EFI/UEFI mode.
I had grub installed and was able to boot on both Windows 10 and Ubuntu Linux (14.04 LTS). I recently tried to install Fedora Workstation 29 'automatically' making space from the ubuntu partition. Since then I have not been able to boot in EFI/UEFI. The boot process simply do not see the hard drive as an EFI boot disk. I have tried to remove the Fedora installation, I installed a new version of ubuntu and nothing works.
I have tried to reinstall windows, but I cannot boot from window flash drive. I can boot from linux flash drives, and from there I can see the disk partitions (even if I can't mount the Windows partition as it seems to be in hibernation state). Is there any possibility to restore the machine in working state? What am I supposed to do?
I have tried asking for help here and here with scarse success.
Anybody able to help with this issue?
Thanks.

I would personally use a tool which will try to find and repair the boot partition. First boot on a live Ubuntu distro and install boot-repair:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair
sudo apt update
sudo apt install boot-repair
And then execute and hopefully recover the previous state with success (this tool saved me once a couple of months ago):
