Windows no longer showing in bootloader

After I reinstalled Arch, I now realized that windows no longer shows up in the bootloader, with each option leading back to Arch. I checked my partitions and saw that the Windows partition was still there. I'm using systemd-boot

You'll have to add a loader option for systemd-boot, do the two systems share an ESP or is it a separate partition/disk?

Because if it's on the same disk systemd-boot should be able to autodetect the windows loader

Same disk, but same ESP or separate?

If you share the Windows ESP the menuentry will be added automatically, as gromit noted earlier.

Change Arch to use the Windows ESP and remove the unnecessary one.
