I recently installed Linux Mint on an external HDD to dual boot with Windows 10 on my laptop. After the installation, my laptop booted directly into a GRUB command line, which was confusing. I was still able to access the standard boot menu using F12 and successfully booted into Linux from there. To fix my start-up issues, I used the efibootmgr command to set the boot order to prioritize Windows and then Linux, which worked well. However, now I've noticed that the standard boot menu accessed via F12 no longer shows any other bootable options, so I can't boot from other SSDs or USB drives. What's the best way to restore those options?

Just a heads-up, if you're not very familiar with GRUB commands, using those might feel a bit intimidating. But they’re generally safe to execute. Just make sure you’ve backed up any important data, as a precaution. If you’re unsure, you could also look up tutorials or guides to help you through the process.
You might want to try running `sudo update-grub` in your terminal. If that doesn’t do the trick, you can also try `sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg`. These commands typically help update the GRUB bootloader to recognize all available boot options.
