After upgrading to sys-boot/os-prober-1.81-r1, os-prober is no longer able to locate Windows bootmgfw.efi.

It looks like a bug.

-->Update Grub configuration: Run sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
-->Check the OS-prober configuration: Ensure GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false in /etc/default/grub
-->Check UEFI boot entries: Verify the Windows Boot Manager entry is present using efibootmgr
-->Reinstall os-prober: Run sudo emerge --unmerge sys-boot/os-prober then sudo emerge sys-boot/os-prober

Code:
GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER="false"


This is already set, otherwise os-prober-1.81 wouldn't work as well

For anyone wondering:

bug fix for 830655 seems to be the trigger.

Changing following line 333 in /usr/share/os-prober/common.sh fixes the issue:
Code:
- while read -r x x dev x mount x x fs x; do
+ while read -r x x dev x mount x x x fs x; do

If this is true, then it comes from a patch in the gentoo repo at sys-boot/os-prober/files/os-prober-1.81-boot-detected-twice.patch
