Hi everyone, I REALLY screwed something up.
After doing a full system update a couple days ago, Manjaro was no longer appearing in my boot list in GRUB. GRUB had a shiny new look, which I’m guessing means a new GRUB update messed things up. I realize this is a common issue popping up here in the last few months, and I should have checked those threads before trusting random Google results.
After trying random things suggested around the internet, I cannot boot into GRUB at all. My Manjaro partition has the highest boot priority. When I power my computer on, instead of booting into GRUB, I instead get a black screen. After a few seconds, my computer switches itself off and reboots into the BIOS. From there, I’m still able to boot into Windows (I am dual-booting). I’m guessing my BIOS is smart enough to reboot into the BIOS when I am unable to load GRUB.
Because of my (very) limited understanding of BIOS/EFI, mounting, bootloaders, I am unsure what to do now. I am afraid of messing my system up even further.
If it is useful, here is the output of fdisk -l after I manjaro-chroot from a live USB (only showing the output including the “Device”, “Start”, etc. columns):

Additionally, here is the output of lsblk -f after I manjaro-chroot from a live USB:

`-sda5 117.9G 47% /boot/efi

Any ideas?
