When booting into Garuda, I usually have to restart my computer 1 or 2 times for me to get to the login successfully. When the first or second boot fails, It freezes and shows
Booting 'Garuda Linux'
Loading Linux-zen ...
Loading initial ramdisk ...
error: start_image() returned 0x8000000000000005.
Failed to boot both default and fallback entries
Press any key to continue...
It does eventually boot successfully after the first or second boot. I should also mention that on my previous install of Garuda, the problem started around 3 months ago and gradually got worse, making it feel almost impossible to boot into Garuda. I am duel booting Windows 11 and have tried disconnecting my Windows drive and doing a reinstall of Garuda today and the problem still persists.
Here is my inxi, i appreciate any assistance I can get
