What should i do now? i can reinstall and delete nvme0n1p3 partition and use it as /boot/efi but what will happen to windows. I am clueless atm
Upon viewing the contents of nvme0n1p3, it appears to be an NTFS partition, that is used solely for Windows. It’s not being used as your EFI system partition. (sda4 is.)
Now it looks like your only EFI system partition is indeed sda4.
Can you show the contents/tree of sda4?

right now i am using kde neon i was trying to see if the issue was with manjaro install or other distro have similar issue, turn out its the same issue everywhere…
if you want i can do the manjaro install but i had exact same setup with manjaro as well
Well content of nvme0n1p3 seems alright, but why is it ntfs? 
What should i do then? @zbe i can delete this partition and create a new one and if needed i can copy all the bootfiles from windows to efi parition
I would try repairing/restoring windows boot partition, whatever the procedure 
tell me one thing in dual boot system window and linux use only one efi parititon?
You can have one on each disk. But it’s funny, I had to install windows on separate ssd and I just saw that it actually installed bootloader on efi partition that linux is on, which is on some other ssd. 
Can you post output of the command
sudo fdisk -l
Sure

Ok so, that nvme0n1p3 is recovery environment. Can you boot that and fix windows bootloader with that?
i have tried that but the problem is that window becomes the default to boot and in my Boot setting i get the option to change it but it does not the change the boot order… that is why i was thinking to have install that doesnt break the windows side of things
look here
its a pain to deal use boot overirde menu to go to linux
Well, tbh, I didn’t know ntfs recovery partition exists, that windows can boot from.
I see 3 possible options:
- you install grub bootloader to nvme0n1p3, which is highly unlikely since it shows as being ntfs
- you install windows bootloader to sda4 - don’t ask me how, ask MS
- you manually add nvme0n1p3/EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi to manjaro grub.
Or maybe something entirely different that someone else can suggest.
This partition looks to be a Win boot partition, that’s not the same as an ESP.
Guess I’m a bit out of the loop. I thought windows will create ESP and install bootloader on it.
