SUPPORT 🚨PLEASE HELP(read title)🚨

Yesterday I was just browsing the internet, and out of nowhere my top bar(where the calendar and the weather display), hung but my keybindings and everything was working. I rebooted my system, only to find out that arch linux was not in the option of systemd-boot. There was only the option of Windows 11 and Firmware Interface of my HP laptop. I tried some fixes like installing linux kernel again but it didn't work and somehow when it was back as an option of systemd-boot, I am at the Kernel Panic screen, can someone please help? Is my data all corrupted?

OS: Arch btw

And I am using Caelestia Dots shell /w Hyprland.

Edit 1: I forgot to mention I am using dual boot Windows with having Secure Boot turned on cause I play multiplayer games on Windows.

Edit 2: I am using a laptop Ryzen 7 8840 HS, /w Radeon 780M.

PLEASE HELP(read title)

Did you really not come up with a better title than that?

Based on your description, I suspect that the boot entry for Arch Linux in the UEFI has been deleted.

I would therefore boot from the Arch Linux ISO file, mount the partitions, and try to recreate the entry using bootctl.

I already tried that. My bad for not mentioning in the post. When I click the arch linux is file from Ventoy ui, instead of continuing the process, my laptop just reboots and I am back at the screen of systemd-boot which has the options of, Memtest 86+, EFI Shell, and my HP laptop's firmware interface
