After reinstalling windows bootloader, grub-update cannot find it

[Davidoc26]

Hi, after I reinstalled the windows bootloader (via bcdboot), update-grub stopped detecting it.
But at the same time, through bios (boot order) I can start windows
I already tried to search for a similar problem on the forum, but without success.

Here is some information:
/etc/default/grub:
GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false

update-grub:

I know you might wonder why I (re)installed bootloader , it so happened that after reinstalling manjaro I “accidentally” formatted /boot/efi

I am nowhere an expert but as I understand it, if Windows is installed with an UEFI partition Grub will not detect it. Both Win and Manjaro have to be installed with BIOS partitions to have an actual dual boot machine.

Maybe add the esp and boot flags to the EFI partition?

sudo parted /dev/sda set 4 esp on
sudo parted /dev/sda set 4 boot on

And then try again with update-grub.

Thank you, this really solved the problem
