172,8 G=Windows 10

Windows is MBR,perhaps thats the issue?

2

Have you tried holding either ESC, SHIFT, or F8 keys during boot?

Which other solutions have you tried?

If you want to keep the grub menu at every boot, you can edit:

etc/default/grub

and change:

GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=menu

Then, open the console and do the command:

sudo update-grub

Reboot.

i tried ESC(opens BIOS),it didnt see windows 10,i tried reinstalling GRUB and then updating it,and i tried one more thing but i dont remember it.

I think problem is Manjaro is EFI and Windows is MBR,but i dont know(since i don’t understand UEFI,MBR,Legacy etc.)

4

Did you tried this :

OS prober does not run and add other operating systems
Please click the ► at the beginning of this line to view this solution

To restore, please execute: sudo echo GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false|sudo tee -a /etc/default/grub && sudo update-grub
5

it didnt work

6

this didnt work too.(sorry dont know how to do multiple reply)

Please, open the console and do the command:

cat /etc/default/grub

and then copy here the output.

Now edit again

/etc/default/grub

and remove ‘quiet splash’ like this:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=“apparmor=1 security=apparmor udev.log_priority=3”

Update with

sudo update-grub

and reboot.

10

sorry im not native speaker i didnt understand,are you telling me me to delete the line?,can you show me before and after removing “quiet splash”

11

No, don’t delete the line! But only the words quiet splash

Now, your grub is:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash apparmor=1 security=apparmor udev.log_priority=3"

After the edit, it would be:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="apparmor=1 security=apparmor udev.log_priority=3"

ok,there was a menu there for 5 secs,but there was no Windows 10 option in there,only Manjaro

13

Mmmm…
Please open the console:

test -d /sys/firmware/efi && echo efi || echo bios

and post the output.

14 
efi
15

Your problem is you have installed Manjaro in EFI mode, and Windows is in MBR.
Never mix UEFI with MBR partition scheme.
I think you should reinstall Manjaro in MBR mode

When you install Manjaro, if you don’t want to reinstall Windows, you have to disable EFI in the Bios firmware.

You can this detailed guide:

Good luck. :wink:

16

Ok thank you,i will try it later.Have nice day

17

I correct myself: with Win10, via diskpart, it is possible to convert from MBR to EFI without reinstalling windows.
See here:

If you are not practical, you can always use shareware tools that do the job for you.
I think it is more convenient to have both systems in EFI. :slightly_smiling_face:

18

Ok it seems that i need to remove Manjaro,but how?
I tried to delete it with fdisk on Live Manjaro USB ,but it didn’t work for some reason
Do i need to delete Manjaro partition on Windows Live USB?
Or can i make Windows UEFI without opening Windows?

19

Indeed, if both are not the same (both EFI or both MBR) grub cannot list the other one.

20

You re right,but i installed Manjaro as Legacy this time and Manjaro doesnt even boot up this time.Also i deleted Manjaro and there was still no Windows.
