I have recently uninstalled Ubuntu 17.10 by formatting the partition and when I rebooted I got a message saying: error: no such partition entering rescue mode... grub rescue > No commands worked So I am wondering, is there a way to uninstall the bootloader so I can boot back into Windows?

Have you tried changing the Boot Order in the CMOS yet? I'm wondering since you said "Formatted the Partition" Which partition did you format? – EODCraft Staff Oct 28 '17 at 08:15
