It seems success.
Reboot to confirm no boot problem.
If all is OK, consider checking the two package lists from update output (AUR, orphaned). You may not need them, so uninstall those packages, unless they remove packages you know you need.

[IzStriker]

Oh my gosh, I can’t thank you enough I can login to Garuda now!!! Thanks for all the time and effort guys.

The only thing is when I originally tried to fix this with Garuda Boot Repair, I accidentally removed Windows from the boot option lists. I know I can just press f12 and choose windows that way, but does anyone know how to get it to appear on the list again?

Is Windows not available in grub menu? It should be.
What description is there in F12 menu for Windows?

What about the previous questions?

@petsam

What description is there in F12 menu for Windows?

Which entry do you choose successfully for windows?

There is nothing helpful to understand the reason grub cannot discover windows.
Anyway, booting windows from UEFI menu is good advice in general.

Can you confirm you are able to boot to Windows (with any method)?

Try regenerating the Grub configuration again, from the normal installation (not in the chroot) and see if os-prober picks it up.

sudo update-grub

[IzStriker]

Sorry, missed that part. “UEFI: Sabrent, Partition 1”

[petsam]

Run

sudo os-prober

[IzStriker]

This fixed it! Thanks again guys for all the time and effort.

[nepti]

I bet 10 Sh!tcoin that

@IzStriker

upgrading microsoft-edge-stable-bin

was the cause of the crash during the update…

That was a nasty and mean undercover sabotage action by M$.

I’m sure of that !1!!11!

[filo]

@IzStriker

microsoft-edge-stable-bin

There is a typo.
Shouldn’t it be microsoft-edge-garbage-bin ?

[IzStriker]

Loool, i only use that for bing AI
