Windows option not showing in grub menu

When I run the command grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg, the os-prober also detects the windows boot option, since I have enabled the os-prober in /etc/default/grub. Nevertheless, I cannot see the option when I reboot and check the grub menu. Also, I was able to find the windows menu entry in boot/grub/grub.cfg, but the entry itself is not visible.

Re: Windows option not showing in grub menu

The plain `set` command from the GRUB command line should list $configfile, which is where it is looking for grub.cfg — it might be looking in the wrong place.

Please share your NVRAM boot entries:

efibootmgr -u

Re: Windows option not showing in grub menu

After so many days, I finally found the problem. Basically, I have a boot partition and also the partition for my linux system. When I made the config file for grub, it generated it for the boot partition. But after I mounted the linux partition and checked the grub config, I didn't find the windows entry. So, I made grub-mkconfig for it and it finally showed up. Thanks for the help!
