Hello there,
Reinstalled Archlabs from to already functioning dualboot system, but something went wrong.
Windows boot loader is missing from grub as well as BIOS boot menu.
/boot/efi contains ./EFI folder with the loader but I can’t figure out how to show it in windows
please help

I have run the command. And unfortunately only the Microsoft folder is present in the /boot/EFI/ folder. Not the bootloader

@natemaia this might be worth posting on the website, the blog, Twitter or whatever because I guess a lot of people will run in to that issue and as I gathered you will not put out a new release any time soon…?
