I having some issues with booting Manjaro up after my Windows 10 updated. I am able to go the GRUB commandline, but that is about it. As soon as I try to access Manjaro normally it seems as though my computer freezes, and I am unable to access anything anymore. How can I fix this issue? I have tried looking at similar threads thinking that they would provide some insight, but to no avail. I have tried using the commnad startx but that didn’t work.
I would greatly appreciate any kind of assistance on this.
As far as i know, the only thing Windows messes systematically on quarterly/yearly update, is the ESP and the boot entries. But in that case you should just have booted directly into win… well, you can try reinstalling grub, if it does not help it will not hurt. GRUB/Restore the GRUB Bootloader - Manjaro
Thanks for responding! I do have a question here and I feel a bit silly for asking, but does reinstalling GRUB delete any the data on the partition by chance?
Not unless the target already exists
(if you are installing grub to a mountpoint where it already exists … installing there again will overwrite/update existing grub files … but nothing else)
Sorry I’m being really dense today, but what do you mean by target? Also would it be possible to expand upon what a mountpoint is? Its been awhile since I’ve used Manjaro and I would really like to use it again.
So by reinstalling the GRUB you’re saying I will be able access all of my old files on Manjaro, correct? If so that is fantastic news! Is there way to do so without accessing a terminal or maybe I am not finding it? Where would the terminal be at? All Im seeing is access to Manjaro, to windows, and an advanced setting, GRUB commandline, but I’m not seeing a terminal. Any help with that?
Okay, so I have tried to get into the kernal to no avail, what can I do now? Whenever I try to do so the screen freezes at the loading screen. Any suggestions?
Trying to boot another kernel for example.
Generally, Windows, and GRUB, and broken kernel, have little to do with each other. So maybe i don’t understand the exact problem and you have to provide more information what have you done, what do you see etc.
and got the response to something that looks like this:

Thank you for showing me this link! But would anyone happen to know the command to update the mirror that is in the U.S is on by chance? I don’t want to cause any drama by downloading the wrong mirror
