[SOLVED] Arch installation not showing in UEFI

I currently whant to install arch linux on my main system. I followed precisely what the wiki said. As my bootloader i use GRUB because i whant to set up a dualboot system with my Windows 10 installation which is on a seperate ssd. I use efibootmgr to see if GRUB shows up there and it does at secon place direktly after the Windows bootloader. But when i get to rebooting i cant find the Nvme ssd i installed arch on in my UEFi boot settings. When i then switch to EUFI+legacy boot (it shouldnt be there because i installed arch with thee uefi installer) the ssd shows up but is not bootable. Do you have any idea what could cause this and how i can fix it?

Have you made sure os prober is working?

If you are unsure,
Chroot back into arch from the liveusb (with efi mounted),
and install os-prober,
then ensure that "GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false" is uncommented in "/etc/default/grub"
if it does not exist, then add it.

After that is done, run os-prober, and see if it detects any other operating systems.

Hope this helps!

What's the mainboard? Some UEFI setups don't properly store NVRAM entries, and you might want to try to run the grub-install command with the --removable flag again, which will populate esp/EFI/BOOTx64.EFI instead of a custom entry.

Thanks for youre help. Installing GRUB with the --removable flag seems to have fixed the problem.
