Post by: Alecu on 05 January 2022, 12:41:43

Hello everyone on this forum! I am new Artix Linux user.
I installed Artix Linux, it maked the GRUB menu successfully, but I won't see Windows Boot manager menu entry in GRUB menu. What should I do?
tried os-prober, it sees, but GRUB menu does not see Windows Boot Manager. Also I have a windows partition that works and using UEFI BIOS i can boot into Windows when needed.

Please provide your GRUB configuration file /etc/default/grub (use https://paste.artixlinux.org). Also the output of:

Code: [Select]

lsblk -f

and /etc/fstab.

Edit: Have you tried just updating GRUB?

Code: [Select]

sudo update-grub

If yes, please provide the file grub.log generated by:

Code: [Select]

sudo update-grub >grub.log 2>&1

You might need to modify /etc/default/grub to activate os-prober and regenerate grub according to this forum post:

Thank you.

How i did this:
Open Terminal
type sudo nano /etc/default/grub
put this line GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER="false" in that file
press Ctrl+O to save
press enter and save
exit NANO
type sudo update-grub
And you're done! You got Bootable Windows on UEFI dual boot with Artix Linux!
