Can't boot into WIndows after an attempt to install Ubuntu 18.04

I've been reading previous posts on similar issues but nothing seems to be working for me.
I tried installing Ubuntu in dual boot (I normally had Windows 10 Pro). I deactivated secure boot, created new partition for Ubuntu, rebooted my PC and started the installation via a USB on which I burned the .iso file for the installation. I created /, /home and swap partitions and started the installation. Everything was going just fine until I received an error from the installer almost at the end of the installation process:
grub-efi-amd64-signed failed installation /target/.
Then the sh*t began. I started looking at posts about the issue, I tried and I tried... Rebooting, starting new installation. I was always choosing "SOmething else" at the installation page but guess what: At some point the options were : install ubuntu 18.04 alongside ubuntu 18.04 (which for me meant that my windows is gone), reinstall ubuntu 18.04 (which must mean that it is already installed but it's not because I can't boot into it in any possible way) and of course there is also "something else" . The only way I can get access to my PC is by "try ubuntu without installing" because the installation won't work and my PC won't boot into Windows nor into ubuntu. Now I tried boot-repair and here is the result: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/6tJhhxG9kj/
When I try to do the recommended repair I am getting an error:
GPT detected. Please create a BIOS-Boot partition (>1MB, unformatted
filesystem, bios_grub flag). This can be performed via tools such as
Gparted. Then try again. Alternatively, you can retry after activating
the [Separate /boot/efi partition:] option.
I am begging someone to help me return to my Windows OS because I am starting to think that I've ruined my OS simply by following instructions. In addition: I don't have a CD or USB to restore my Windows so it would be perfect if there is a way to restore it in a different way.
