Altered `bcdedit` and now Windows 10 won't boot

I have dual boot on my Surface Pro 3, Windows 10 primary (was installed first) and Ubuntu Budgie (secondary). During the installation, GRUB2 was installed as well. Following the guide here, I entered
bcdedit /set "{bootmgr}" path EFIubuntugrubx64.efi
When I power up the Surface, I see the GRUB menu, from which I can choose Ubuntu and it boots fine. But, before the command above, I used to be able to press Esc and type exit to exit GRUB and boot Windows 10. Since after that command, I can no longer access Windows 10. Now, when I exit GRUB, it just restarts the computer back to the GRUB menu, and if I do it again it turns off the computer!
PLEASE do not direct me to here or here, as I have already read those posts and tried their solutions. Additionally, I have tried the following commands with no help:
bcdedit /default {ntldr}
bcdedit /set "{bootmgr}" path EFIubuntushimx64.efi
Please tell me there is a way to get Windows back other than re-install
Here is an image of bcdedit command from Command Prompt
windows-10 ubuntu boot grub

So it turns out editing boot configurations wasn't the issue--the issues was the BitLocker preventing me from booting to Windows. I used the Command Prompt to manually disabled BitLocker so it wouldn't yell at me when I boot Windows through GRUB. Commands used
manage-bde -status #returns list of volumes and whether they are encrypted or not
manage-bde -unlock (volume name, example C:) -rp (48 digit recovery code)
manage-bde -protectors -disable (volume name, example C:)
