No OS select menu

[ebon bison]

So I installed Mint today, tried to reboot to switch to Windows (selected to install alongside Windows 10 in install options), but I don’t have the option to use Windows, my NTFS partition is still there with data on it, I checked with both terminal and GParted, but I have no clue how to reach it, I followed the instructions on the multi-boot page in the installation manual to install grub but it still isn’t showing.

Tried something else, this https://gcore.com/learning/how-to-install-grub-bootloader-in-linux

didn’t work either

This didn’t work either https://www.fosslinux.com/115040/a-complete-guide-to-installing-grub-bootloader-on-linux.htm

So basically the GRUB menu (the OS selection) menu doesnt appear when restarting the computer?

or when you turn it on and the GRUB menu doesnt appear, if so what your computer name or model (like HP, DELL, ASUS)?

[crisp lintel]

yeah because what you're doing is both useless and will quicker break your system than fix it

output of efibootmgr please

I’m out the house for the week, can’t exactly do that

You just need to change some settings, nothing crazy.

i got access again, would it change anything about the issue if i use an hdd and the hdd holds both mint and windows 10 boot?

[royal leaf]

you're seeing the black GRUB 2.xx menu at bootup, with both OS' showing and launchable from it?

[ebon bison]

yup

[royal leaf]

did u turn off that thing i just linked?

[ebon bison]

it started working perfectly even before that

but i still disabled it

[royal leaf]

alright. maybe it just needed the udpdate-grub command . idk what u did

[ebon bison]

but my friend who has been using linux since like 2018 or something says that grub is basically black magic

[ebon bison]

i literally rebooted my computer

thats it

[royal leaf]

but I have no clue how to reach it, I followed the instructions on the multi-boot page in the installation manual to install grub but it still isn’t showing.
