I have a similar problem. For several days now, I have been offered 125 updates for testing branch.
When I perform these 125 updates for testing branch, the boot menu disappears and I am automatically logged into Manjaro without being able to select another OS, for example for dual boot.
When I select Stable branch, I don’t get a boot menu either.
