I recently have installed ubuntu in my computer, alongside windows 10. The installation went fine (from an USB file, downloaded from Ubuntu.com ) but when i try to restart my computer starts automatically windows 10 and doesn't show me what OS I can choose. I've tried turning off fast startup, but it doesn't seem to work. Could you help me? Thank you.

  • @Neil It boots right to windows, not to ubuntu. Should i disable UEFI? I didn't disable it when i installed ubuntu.

  • Do not turn off UEFI. What brand/model system. Many will not auto boot any entry that does not say Windows. But there are work arounds. askubuntu.com/questions/486752/… and: askubuntu.com/questions/597052/…

Hold 'Shift' at startup of your computer. It should bring you to the grub menu. If you want to permanently change it, go into Ubuntu and go to terminal, type in:

sudo nano /etc/default/grub

Go to the line where it says:

GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true

And change the number 0 to 10 or what you prefer (this is the time it stays on the grub menu and when time's up it automatically boots into the selected option, but i do recommend 10 though). Change true to false and then save the file and quit it. After editing the file, type in the terminal:

sudo update-grub

And restart to see if it worked. Please say if it didn't work!
