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
bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\ubuntu\grubx64.efi

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

[@surajsarmahpathak8403]

Just came back for the appreciation post. Thanks a ton man!!

[@gajendraojha3074]

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

[@debrooppal5341]

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

[@fantasticphone9693]

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

[@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. Grrrrr! )
My attempts to reinstall Grub 2 failed various tries. Your simple clear solution worked a treat. Thx +++

[@fiveten2791]

Thanks!!

[@alonsomoslie8395]

Thank you so much

[@LM_Akito]

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

[@agustincuevas-antropologo8405]

With the last command now is not booting any OS, how I can undo the last command?

[@shahrearhossain9875]

Thank you

[@alimohammad-lg8sw]

thank you so much

[@shishir8854]

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

[@ultrainstinct6715]

Goated!

[@kartikhegde533]

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!!

[@ShakhilaDeSilva]

thank you boss

[@GoutamDAS-ls1wb]

Thanks for this informative video. Will the same commands work for linux mint as well?

[@shubh-sharma]

No but you can replace Pacman with apt

[@mahi07404]

Imean Ubuntu is loading without showing grub

[@shamimanasrin7932]

I got the boot menu but when i tried to turn on the window, my laptop turn off suddenly. Now the laptop wont turn on at all. Please reply. Thanks in advance.

[@gauravtak9787]

It is not working for me my windows 11 in drive C and ubuntu in drive F what i dooo help me

[@DerEchteAndrej]

Didn't work for me :( I guess you have both OS on the same drive, right? I installed ubuntu on a different SSD than windows...grzb menu doesn't show up. I can select the default OS by priorizing the boot drive in BIOS - i still don't see the grub menu :/

[@rishabhdinkar3227]

Thanks bruh

[@Th3Jac0b]

For me it was just nake sure that it firt boot ubuntu instead of windows when i did commands in this tutorial it only make new windows where i have only win 11 to boot

[@Zinnnearts]

​@@mybeatz4522any updates?

[@sandor8022]

@@mybeatz4522 reinstall the linux solved the problem😎

[@ramcool82]

Yes mine too, i ran last command and everything gone

[@ramcool82]

​@@mybeatz4522i booted in MX Linux using pen drive. MX Linux has option called boot rescue. There i searched windows boot manager. Once found i booted to windows and then made windows as default boot option.

[@itsmenewbie03]

Black Screen with "Reset System"
How to fix?

[@dzdzdzdzdzdzdzdzdz]

if just wanna get grub like this, just change the boot priority option from windows to ubuntu in the bios. but i dont like it. im searching about how to get windows 11 grub menu style offically from windows settings without 3rd party apps 😢

[@alexandre7719]

Thanks

[@davidebertoni719]

Lifesaver

[@sumitbhatia2385]

followed the steps and it didn't work... rather stopped windows to boot as well. Spent full 2 days to get windows back to work. Try at your own risk

[@abdullahazaam4714]

Thank you so much. This is grade work

[@sokhakho7154]

steep one is to fix my issue before I try your tutorial I tried to reinstall again and again but it did not work thank you

[@itsyktv2770]

Thanks baba

[@davidsaso1234]

how do I set this command ``bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\ubuntu\grubx64.efi`` back to its default? I ran it and now I get errors when starting my pc

[@e64x]

Well if you did use the first command just Type this:
bcdedit /set {bootmgr} displaybootmenu no
And for Restore the default path(if you did use the sec command)type this:
bcdedit /deletevalue {bootmgr} path \EFI\ubuntu\grubx64.efi
If you did use the two of them you're pretty much safe to types them both in order❤

[@Smashachu]

I spent all fking night messing with my bios convinced it was my bios. I do still have an issue where my n.2 SSD formated and has had ubuntu successfully installed on it and it wont even show up in the list on the boot options in my bios. I literally even unplugged my other hard drives forcing it to boot to that one and nothing.

[@genjihmd2026]

well the boot manager did show up, but my linux isn't there

[@todanamiki8041]

Both the commands say access is denied

[@xavierwastaken6891]

i'm not able to boot my pc after running the last command... Maybe explain in more detail what the command does next time
(edit) I fixed this by disabling secure boot in the motherboard bios settings

[@nuk_9322]

bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\ubuntu\grubx64.efi
just run this command this will work but make it sure that cmd must run as admins

[@def1de]

Didn't help. Now my widows can't load on boot and doesn't show grub as well

[@mybeatz4522]

So what did u do now

[@sajidiquebal4697]

same bro what to do now?

[@def1de]

For everyone who has the same issue. I went to boot options (F9 on hp laptops) and choose Windows Boot Loader as my loading source and it fixes it in short run, but you need to fix it by adjusting grub settings in Linux.

[@bhargavkargatiya7962]

How to undo this?

[@bigguygoogle457]

Didnt recognize the command

[@emilioguevara9918]

JUST TELL ME

[@hipp0stalker]

still not working

[@nickvaja9107]

Now it's directly booting Ubuntu
Wht about windows 😂

[@ArvitFaruki]

great! success with zorin

[@The.One.True.B]

You can literally remove the first 1min20sec

[@user-yd3dx3vh2u]

guys, the command that fix your issue is at 3:05 !

[@Apna_dhamaka_]

It's {bootmgr}

[@JoaoVictor-fs9yf]

Acabou com o meu pc pqp

[@ericairsoftguy3472]

Didn't really help in my case. Thanks though.

[@bare_gamer9128]

If you’re on a laptop, your firmware might be nonstandard and boot windows’ bootloader instead of bootx64.efi

[@salsabeel1077]

Bro thanks a lot the second code works for me. You are a life saver 🛟💓

[@atishchandole]

For Debian 11?
