I have been trying to install grub with UEFI GPT partitioning with a dualboot, but it fails after I update grub. Here is a link to the error.

says to mount the root filesystem, then mount boot - you're posted image shows you've tried to do this the other way round.
BTW - you should post the actual text and not an image...

OK I mounted my root partition first followed by the boot and the same error occurs.I tried formatting my drive completely and the same issue persists. Why would grub say it can't find find an ext4 file system on a windows recovery partition and the other windows partitions? I just installed fedora and everything went flawlessly so what do you think is the issue?

Please paste the exact commands you used. Telling us you did something is not that useful.

1. First I mounted my root partition (sdb5) to /mnt/
2. Then I created and mounted a home partition to /mnt/home
mount /dev/sdb6 /mnt/home
3. Thne I mounted my efi partition to /boot
mkdir /mnt/boot && mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt/boot
3. Then I installed the base system
pacstrap /mnt base base-devel
4. Then generated fstab
genfstab -U /mnt > /mnt/etc/fstab
5. Then chrooted
arch-chroot /mnt
6. Then install grub
grub-install-efi --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot --bootloader=grub
7. Then generated grub
grub-mkconfig /boot/grub/grub.cfg
I followed all the steps on the wiki and it spit out the same error as above in the post. The sda drive is a secondary drive formatted to ntfs for other files.

Exactly when did you bump into errors? When grub-install or when grub-mkconfig? (or both?)
Paste exact and all warnings/errors as well. Since you are doing it in chroot, some warnings can be harmless.
Mount everything in proper order and arch-chroot again, then run
grub-install --efi-directory /boot |& curl -F c=@- https://ptpb.pw/
and/or
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg |& curl -F c=@- https://ptpb.pw/
Get back to us with the ptpb link(s) you get.

Not sure exactly what happened, but I did a reinstall and everything worked perfectly. If I have to reinstall and I get the same error, I'll ask again
