Hi, I have this issue too and i still can't understand what happens, can you please tell how did you solve it?

It's usually due to remaining partition space being too small to fit additional boot loader data. Especially if using EFI partitions, windows tend to make the boot partition around 100MiB small, and their own binary takes 92MiB of those. Then GRUB comes along and wants to place its 100MiB boot code and things go south quickly.

MBR is a different story, but can also run into space issues.
