[SOLVED] Can't boot after recent update
After updating and rebooting, I was directed straight to UEFI settings and couldn't even see grub. I am able to boot now after timeshift - ing to a previous snapshot. I'm not sure which package caused this. Here are my packages that have updates:

Re: [SOLVED] Can't boot after recent update
straight to UEFI settings and couldn't even see grub
Means the ESP or grub got corrupted? Both unlikely because of that package list.
Have you checked your pacman log for what else might have happened? Errors?
(It's probably now lost due to timeshift?)
Update again, pay attention to the update and whether there're any errors and compare the timestamps on the ESP before and after.

Re: [SOLVED] Can't boot after recent update
I updated again and rebooted a few times but... everything seems to be fine? sadly I didn't check the pacman.log before timeshifting. BTW it is an acer laptop and I had to mark my efi partitions as trusted so I can still access UEFI settings, would that have anything to do with it? anyway I suppose a sun flare flipped a bit while pacman was upgrading xD

I'd assume only if anything changed about the ESP - what's not indicated by the posted package list.

I'm leaning towards the last link as the most plausible explanation 
In all seriousness I bookmarked those pages in the event something like this ever happens again. Thank you!
