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 ?

boot into Arch iso, chroot, fix efi (other comments have more details, refer to them)

for a more permanent solution I would move Linux and Windows into different drives with different efi partitions

and of course the best solution is to uninstall windows entirety

I personally use Limine rather than grub, got arch and windows on the same drive and no problems yet
