GRUB cannot find correct windows boot loader [on hold]

I installed Arch the other day on a dual boot system but for some reason GRUB cannot find the windows bootloader. My Arch and Win 10 installs are on separate drives, but for some reason there are two windows boot partitions, one on each drive. GRUB only sees the boot loader that no longer points to a valid windows install so it errors and says I need to repair windows when I select it.



I know that my windows install is still healthy because I can select it from my BIOS menu and it works perfectly.
