I run a dual boot archlinux/windows system on my dell inspiron laptop installed on separate SSD and a NVME drive respectively, and ran into this issue today.
I was playing a game on my archlinux system and then manually rebooted by pressing the power button when I thought the game wasn't running too well. When the laptop booted again, grub got broken, showing the: symbol grub is shim lock enabled not found error. I managed to get it back up and running by reinstalling grub with a live cd, but now the NVME drive where windows was installed on has disappeared completely. Using lsblk only shows the SSD drive and not the NVME, and running OS prober doesn't work as grub cannot detect the NVME drive or windows at all. I would like some help and explanation on this issue.

Does your UEFI firmware detect the drive?

Doesn't look like it. There's no option for the NVME drive in the boot menu. Booting windows shows the BSOD with the error code(boot drive inaccessible).

I don't mean just the boot menu. There are usually some settings in the UEFI firmware that allows you to adjust certain properties of the drive, assuming it's detected at all.
If there is no mention whatsoever of the drive within the UEFI firmware, chances are it's a hardware failure, possibly caused by forceful unclean shutdown with the power button. Nothing you can do within arch can fix that. The OS can only work on hardware that the firmware can detect.
