Hi Arch forum members,
I've had my laptop (Clevo AMD Ryzen 9 3900, 48GB RAM, 2NVME SSD, 2 standard SSD) with Linux and Windows dual booting for the past year and a half, I wouldn't say without issue but at least without any problems booting into these OS. I've worked through lots of problems, learned a lot, and have Linux working better than ever now. For the past month or a little more I haven't been able to boot into Windows. I can access the drive and all files from Linux, but when I try to boot to Windows it gets stuck at a blank screen right before the login screen would normally open and I could sign in to Windows.
I've tried looking this up and it seems like the standard procedure is to get a Windows installation disk and work from there. The idea in my mind is to copy all of the important data to another disk and install Windows on one of my SSD's by itself. The only thing I really need Windows for at the moment is Visual Studio, I can't get Code to do things the way VS does, and that's how I learned to do ASP and C# websites and business applications. It seems like a lot of work figuring out how to do all the things I want to do using Code. Specifically I feel like it will take me too long to get windows frames to work with ASP and C# where VS creates so much of the basic code for you using Code.
Having said that, it comes to mind that I can probably use VS through a browser if I either set one up on a server myself or use SaaS provider.
If anyone has any suggestions I will appreciate them.
Thanks

Hi btc3m,
This does not seem like a grub or bootloader issue, where you find yourself inside windows but all you see is a black screen, but just in case I would suggest to go through your GRUB setup, rebuild/reinstall grub and grub config. If none of this works, and you find yourself executing Windows' EFI but not booting into Windows, then this is likely a Windows issue.
While this maybe so, you mention accessing windows from Linux, It's best practice to run Windows Partitions, especially C:/ in read-only mode, check out fstab configuration to see how to mount that appropriately.
You might have accidentally borked your windows install through Linux. Either way try to look into repairing Windows, through its standard repair process with Windows Install USB (This will likely break you Arch GRUB but its an easy fix with a Arch USB, just arch-chroot and remake grub)
