Why isn't GRUB showing up after installing Linux Mint alongside Windows 7?
Asked by

I've just installed Linux Mint alongside Windows 7, but I'm facing an issue where GRUB doesn't appear at all when I boot up. I checked with os-prober and ran 'sudo update-grub', and it seems to detect everything fine, but GRUB itself isn't visible. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Have you tried holding down the Shift key during boot? It might help to show the GRUB menu that way.

You should probably tweak some settings to make GRUB visible for a few seconds at startup. There's a guide that explains how to do that; I recommend checking it out!

TechyTraveler42: This actually worked! I found out GRUB was set to 'hidden', so changing it to 'menu' fixed the issue. Thanks!
