Does anyone here know how to set up windows 10 bootloader files?

So I wiped my laptop clean, installed windows, installed manjaro, and deleted window's ESP for shits and giggles. Then I tried using bcdboot to restore bootloader files in the ESP I put GRUB in, which got windows 10 on the GRUB but selecting it loops me back to it. Whatdoido.

question

grub

uefi

bootloader

    Lol shits and giggles, look who’s laughing now =p

    I would reinstall win10 since it was a clean installation that you broke. But maybe I’m just a noob who doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

    @neriald @M1sf3t It wasn't a blunder amigos, all my data is backed up. I'm doing this for learning purposes. Ofc I can reinstall everything and keep on with my life, but I'm deliberately creating these scenarios, so I don't piss myself when something similar happens in the future.

    @theKarlisK Ive followed this approach, booting the windows 10 live cd, rebuilding the bcd files from the windows drive into the ESP, it even brought windows 10 back on the grub, but the problem is selecting windows 10 from there bring me back to grub, I can't find a solution for this anywhere sigh.

    @theKarlisK yeah it was set to boot, but anyway I've decided to move on with my life xd, in a way I won't run into this kind of a fuck up (by making separate efi partitions for windows and manjaro). Thanks for your help man.

    @theKarlisK yeah that's what I'm doing, also mostly windows is the culprit, for some reason windows is like "HURR DE HURR THIS EFI PARTITION IS ALL MINE, YOU WILL BOOT ME AND ONLY ME", which is why if you want the bootloaders in the same partition, you have to install window's bootloader into the esp first and then put gurb into it.
