systemd-boot unable to select any entries

Previously I could select different boot entries, but now systemd-boot uses the session I've used earlier.
Is this normal since the latest update or is there a damage?

I'm using UEFI, and I'm only able to boot into Windows by using UEFI first.

Thanks.

EDIT: Turns out my FAT-partition was damaged; after upgrading the kernel and running bootctl update the boot menu is back.

Hmm, the issue is back again. Could this be a issue with fast boot?
Strange it happens after the latest Windows update.

Two kernels installed, but only detects the last used one.

Re: systemd-boot unable to select any entries

I'd say it is an issue with Windows; it is known to disrespect other boot entries:

Not an Installation issue, moving to NC...

The wiki says that fast boot should be disabled on dual-boot systems because, essentially, it does not shut the OS down completely between boots. Booting the other OS is, therefore, expected to screw things up.

[Note that I do not use Windows, so I have no experience of this - I just happen to have read this in the wiki recently while doing a new install of Arch.]
