Fix Grub Not Showing for Windows and Linux Dual Boot System | System Boots Straight to Windows

We have an important topic to discuss for all you dual-boot enthusiasts out there. If you have a Windows and Linux dual boot system and find that your computer boots directly into Windows without showing the Grub menu, don't worry, we've got you covered. In this video, we will guide you through the steps to fix the "Grub Not Showing" issue and regain access to your Linux operating system.

Grub, or the Grand Unified Bootloader, is a boot loader widely used in Linux distributions. It allows users to choose between different operating systems installed on a computer during the boot process. By default, Grub should display a menu with the option to select either Windows or Linux. However, sometimes, due to certain changes or updates, the Grub menu might not appear, causing the system to boot straight into Windows.

Some commands

bcdedit /set {bootmgr} displaybootmenu yes

You don't have idea how much I apreciated this tutorial you save me big time. Thanks so much

[gajendraojha]

This video really saved my whole day of re-installation, losing of data and all personal configuration to the Ubuntu system. THANKS 👍🏻😊

[issamjm]

You are a literal legend bro, I love it when i watch a video to fix a specific problem and it WORKS!!

[Arax.__.]

Amazing, did these settings but for garuda instead of Ubuntu and it worked flawlessly. Thank you!

[kartikhegde]

Great! However in my windows 10, there was no option for Fast Startup. So I,

A) Set "when I press the power button" to shut down.
B) Executed both the commands.

Either or both of the above step might have worked!!

Thank you ... I got the system to go to grub to select which system I want to use. I can't thank you enough!

[Idhem]

Thank you so much dude. It did work with the second cmd but i edited the Ubuntu with debian. And it worked ( i have debian 12 on my ssf)

[GuySansom]

Thx SO much, a great simple solution finally found!
(Yes, without asking, Windows 10 auto-"upgraded" to Win 11 & railroaded over my Ubuntu/Win 10 dual boot.
- No access to my default Linux System. )
My attempts to reinstall Grub 2 failed various tries. Your simple clear solution worked a treat. Thx +++

Bios settings>advanced settings>boot options > UEFI Hard disk drives BBS priorities.
I think this might help idk tho, just check if windows boot manager was set as priority 1 there

[debrooppal]

Thanks for the few steps such as uncheck the fast booting option & last cmd command solved the problem and brought back the grub menu window again

[surajsarmahpathak]

In the last command there is space after 'efi' 😅. It works 😊

[comechillwithmefolks]

I was a bit disappointed but after running the last command it showed the Ubuntu option man God bless you 🙏🏻

[paulwarner]

Thanx for that . Got the grub menue back . I had to do both commanda.

good stuff straight to the point no bs works fine with "debian" instead of "ubuntu", did this config on trigkey mini pc with debian 12 fresh install and grub was not showing up now it's fixed. noice

[emi]

wow! it worked, thank you!
(had to use the last command to make it work), in my case I have Debian, so I've put "debian" instead of "ubuntu" (not really sure if it's really important, but well...)

[fiveten]

THANK YOU, works with debian as well, just had to replace "ubuntu" with "debian" in the last line. You're amazing, thanks again

[redeemer]

Thanks for helping me to recover my Linux back. These steps really works. Blessings!

[hoktryn]

Thank you so much. This worked . The last command worked for me to recover my mint.

To revert the changes just type:
"bcdedit /set {bootmgr} displaybootmenu no"
