This is an interesting suggestion:

I tried several times, without any change to the boot menu. The SDD device
(perhaps a specific part) and also a "windows boot manager" are items in
a menu when rebooting with Advanced Startup from Windows.
The steps I used were:
- Ran grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
- changed the permissions of that file to +w
- re-ran grub-mkconfig
Each time I ran this, it saw the Arch partition. And each time I
booted, this was not found in the grub menu at boot time. It was shown as
a grub 2.x ...
I am reluctant to try to reinstall grub2 as I don't know how it was
installed before. Maybe there is a clue in the partition table.
