[SOLVED] Arch Boot Entry Disappeared After Booting in Windows
Hey! I just installed arch for the first time and everything worked all right, I successfully booted into arch after installing it from the usb. Upon booting everything worked fine, I started setting it up and after some time I rebooted the machine to boot into windows to do something. When I restarted from windows and tried to boot into arch the boot entry for arch just wasn't there in the boot selection menu nor in the bios. It just dissapeared.
The time I entered it after installation it showed up as arch(hddname) in the boot menu. If it also helps I did a 64 bit uefi installation.
I have windows installed on an M.2 ssd and I have Linux installed on 500GB hdd. I also have opencore and macOS installed on the same hard drive as linux so I'm not sure if it is windows or opencore that is screwing with the linux boot entry.
Motherboard I am using: Asus B450M-K
Also It would be nice if you simplified the answer a bit since I'm new to linux and arch, also this is my first time installing arch on real hardware. Thanks!

Thank you! Refind was very convenient and easy to install, very simple and easy to understand compared to all the stuff on the arch wiki.

Thank you for the answer! I used refind because it was faster and easier but I'm sure this would've done the job as well.
