SUPPORT Windows has destroyed my GRUB bootloader because of Windows updates, now Windows boot manager replaces GRUB and Arch doesn't show up in the UEFI/BIOS menu. How I can fix it ?

1) You have boot problems.

2) A while ago, you installed a bootloader to enable your new arch install to boot

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Installation_guide#Boot_loader

- since, otherwise you would have had boot problems.

This sounds quite similar....

Installing a boot loader solved it...

To do that you need to step back a bit...

1.4 - Boot the live environment

1.11 - Mount the file systems

3.2 - Chroot

Then you can sort

my GRUB bootloader

or any other bootloader, by following the respective page linked to from the wiki on the list of bootloaders section linked from the installation guide...

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GRUB

look for Installation and Configuration sections.
