As I say hello to the arch community I'm gonna tell you the full story.
I'm new to the arch but I've been using Manjaro for a while just to grease up some wheels before I go fully arch
The system was running smoothly with windows, Linux, and Linux LTS in the startup boot menu until a stupid power failure, which led to some bios problems, then again I realized there was a bios update. so I downloaded this ridiculous bios update (7C39v142(Beta version) from MSI)
which I regretted a lot after that bios update deleted the boot entry somehow. I'm not sure how windows survived and managed to boot up but it only showed the windows boot manager in bios boot settings (Maybe windows replaced some default entry without giving a damn about other operating systems in some kinda startup repair process, I really have no idea but that can be the case)
then again, I opened a command prompt in administrator and mounted the EFI partition just to see what was in there, and I saw there are still Linux files in the boot partition.
So, I booted the system with Archlinux iso, and did this:
# mount -o subvol=@ /dev/sdc2 /mnt
# mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/boot
# arch-chroot /mnt
# bootctl install
# rebootIt allowed me to boot up into the Arch, and it seems like Arch has become the default, which is what I want, but still, I want to be able to select which one to boot at the boot menu entries at startup, but there is none (system boots into arch immediately without letting me make a choice).
Then I re-installed the lts kernel (sudo pacman -S linux-lts) but still no luck
I have no idea how to get these entries back, I need your help with this, please.

6.0.2-arch1-1Edit:
I'm not sure how this got fixed.
I changed the timeout from 3 to 0, and then again changed it back to 3 and it just got fixed automatically.
Now I changed the timeout back to 0 and when I hold the spacebar, it appears the bootmenu so I can make my choice.
So strange, but now the problem is solved.
