Like the title says, I still can’t see windows in GRUB and have tried everything I could find on this topic.
Windows and Manjaro are installed on two seperate ssds, windows was installed first.
Manjaro disk is first in the boot order.
parted -l shows that both are gpt disk.
I’ve added GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false to the grub config file, and ran update-grub. Running sudo os-prober returns nothing. I have ntfs-3g installed.
update-grub output looks like this:
Generating grub configuration file …

Warning: os-prober will be executed to detect other bootable partitions.
It’s output will be used to detect bootable binaries on them and create new boot entries.
Adding boot menu entry for UEFI Firmware Settings …
Found memtest86+ image: /boot/memtest86+/memtest.bin
done
Selecting the windows drive in boot override just boots me into manjaro.
EDIT: Looks like my pc is not even reading the windows drive. There are two boot selections for manjaro. One says manjaro, the other says UEFI OS. Windows is not even an option.
I haven’t found any other post in the same situation, usually the problem seems to be that windows is using mdos/legacy instead of gpt. But mine seem to be both as gpt.
Any help is appreciated.
i have read, that the linux mounting driver could be an failure point, and it has been recommended to install the ntfs-3g driver for mounting windows partitions, to make Windows visible to os-prober. Unfortunately, i don’t know how to check that yet. i can see that the ntfs-3g package is installed in my manjaro.
I had a similar issue on ubuntu (Installed ubuntu 20.04 first and windows 10 after). Turns out that Ubuntu was installed on legacy and Windows on UEFI, so os prober will never find the windows partition.
The fix was to boot into ubuntu on USB and run boot recovery (search for boot recovery tool)
Once ubuntu UEFI is setup, I had to also change bios setting to boot from UEFI only (options are UEFI only, Legacy only and UEFI + Legacy)
