Solved error: file '/boot/vmlinuz-linux' not found (grub rescue)

Solved issue

Yup-
Installing Windows first normally goes well when you want Linux on the same machine.

I've seen a few times where folks posted online that Windows updates breaks the Grub bootloader for Linux. Not sure if that's true but anything is possible.

nah im 100% thats what happened to me now that you put it that way. i haven't had any issues with my arch install and grub up until i decided install windows. i hope that at some point i'll be able to completely commit to linux but as of now im just gonna have to put up with the hassle. luckily enough i was able to back up my files so i can safely reinstall arch
 
Boot fro
im running arch
Boot from the live iso and chroot into your installation. Then reinstall the kernel and make sure the kernel files are located on the partition mounted under /boot

That's good news.
How did your fresh installation go?

How do you reinstall the kernel if the initrd.img doesn't exist?
 
windows doesn't show up in the grub menu
Boot into Arch and update grub with root privileges.
Code:
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Reboot and you should see Windows in the bootloader's menu.

Sorry that didn't work.
 
How do you reinstall the kernel if the initrd.img doesn't exist?
initramfs gets generated when you reinstall the kernel or when you run "mkintcpio", every Arch user should know this if they used the official Arch installation guide to install Arch.
