I had 5 partitions in my drive, 1-3 I installed gentoo, and the 4,5 later created installing windows. everything was working fine, but I deleted the three fist partitions and recreated three partitions and installed gentoo without changing the 4 and 5 partitions.
After installing gentoo, without changing the windows partitions, Windows bootloader is broken. I can mount it and veryfy what is in it. How can I repair my windows 10 bootloader UEFI or adding it on grub bootloader option

*The 1-3 partitions were creating with different sizes in the new gentoo installation, but the sum of the sizes kept the same

The fdisk output now:

The problem is that you deleted the esp partiton (Efi System Partiton) which contains the Windows Bootloader.

You should repair it with booting from the Windows Installation Medium, then pressing Shift+F10 on the first screen to get a command prompt. Then you have to use the "bcdboot X:\windows" command to recreate the Windows Bootloader (X:\Windows should be the drive where Windows is mounted, can be any other drive letter).

After this Windows should boot again (Maybe you must change your bootloader back to grub in the Uefi-Firmware).
