On a rolling distro, it pays to have a bulletproof backup strategy.
If you don't have one - get one and save stress.

There is a bug in some utility that produces a wrong file path.
I suppose it's because of the different shell. It probably needs to run as designed (in Bash) properly.
@dr460nf1r3 @librewish @TNE ? grub-btrfs, or some hook needs secure wrapping or some modification for pipes?

Probably grub and os prober
They needs to patched to allow booting
Either he is running other os grub
Or he has not done
mkinitcpio -P
update-grub

Makes me question just how many OSs/Distributions are in-play?

I received an update of os-prober in my Arch system. Maybe related?

This seems like it could possibly resemble your issue:
https://forum.garudalinux.org/t/deletion-of-timeshift-snapshots-caused-havoc/4351/32
You could try editing the snapshot boot entry to boot to your system files directly as described in the post above.

Dual boot
Only Windows and Garuda
Use Garuda ISO to chroot to your system and run again updates, kernels and grub, using garuda-chroot
sudo pacman -Syu
If during updates there is no mkinitcpio kernels creation, do it manually
sudo mkinitcpio -P
sudo update-grub
Exit and reboot to check.

After this booting issue, the windows was also broken, I recovered it and after that when I checked Grub configuration there was no Garuda, but it showed Garuda in the menu.
Can this fix up the grub?
This is really confusing. I can't understand which is which.
Give more details and provide system info and logs.
If you have other Linux installed, boot to that and provide
inxi -Fxxxza
sudo fdisk -l
sudo parted -l
sudo os-prober

Remnants of previous distro 'tests', perhaps? We have no idea what has been done, at present.

Before this issue I was on dual boot with Garuda and Win
I have no other Linux distro installed as of now
Downloading the latest Garuda iso
Previously 6-8 months back I was on Manjaro I had cleared all its data before installing Garuda
The sda11 is what made me wonder. That's not an, um, typical arrangement unless one is booting multiples.
Next question: What is the reason you have your partitions extended that far? What does your partition table look like?
Time for answers, or then you will be alone with your problem .

I had an old iso file of Garuda. I used that for extracting this info.
I gave all the output as asked by petsam.
Now is the format ok 
TY
Congratulation!
You just invented Microsoft Multiboot
