Snapshots disappear from grub every time there is a big update
Every time I update my system and reboot, the snapshots disappear from grub. I have found out that I would need to update grub by running these commands for them to show up.
sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
sudo grub-mkconfig
I have tried reinstalling grub-btrfs but that didn't help. Something to note is that I do dualboot with windows 11.

Maybe endeavor triggers the making of the grub config differently than with grub-mkconf and this different way of doing it doesn't run the 41_snapshots script. Maybe someone running endeavor can investigate?
Do I need to take this to the Endeavour OS team to see if it is an issue on their end?
Yes, if sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg works, they must be doing something differently to crate the grub menu. (and therefore delete the snapshots menu while doing it)
With a quick search I couldn't find out what it is.
EndeavourOS doesn't trigger the re-making of the grub menu at all. Since the kernel/initrd names don't change on Arch/EOS with updates, there is no reason to rebuild the menu on update.
Well there must be something that triggers the making of the grub.cfg out of the usual process that includes the output of 41_snapshots-script. Maybe some autosnapshot tool that is configured wrong. AFAIK there are a few for arch/ endeavors pacman
I am not sure what the OP is using but most of our grub-btrfs users are using grub-btrfsd.
@KarkanAlzwayed, can you share what you are using?
Grub-btrfsd is triggering grub-mkconf with exactly the same command like OP tried manually, or, if the snapshots menu entry already exists in grub.cfg, the 41_snapshots-script directly, to only trigger the generation of the snapshot submenu.
There must be something else that triggers the creation of the grub.cfg and bypasses the usual grub-mkconf.

How do I get you what I'm using? Is there a command I need to run? Or would you like me to get a package name?
