Grub doesn't boot

[jeeba]

I have Windows 10 installed in my PC and today I wanted to install Ubuntu in a Logical Partition. Here is the Boot Info Screen result:

I want Grub to appear an also change the default option to windows and change the time to select the partition.

Hello!

I have enclosed your output in code tags to restore formatting and make your post easier to read.

When posting the results of the boot info script, it is best to save the results in plain text to https://pastebin.ubuntu.com, which I believe is given in the instructions for that script.

Cheers!

Both windows 10 and Ubuntu are installed in Legacy mode but you have an EFI partition which only has Ubuntu files on it (sda6). Also, you have windows code in the MBR of both drives so you won't be able to boot from Grub until you install it to the MBR which is the default in an Ubuntu installation. You need to install Grub to the MBR of sda, reboot into Ubuntu and run: sudo update-grub.

[oldfred]

You cannot have Windows in BIOS mode and Ubuntu in UEFI mode on same disk.
UEFI requires an ESP, FAT32 with boot flag.
But Windows in BIOS mode requires boot flag on the NTFS partition with Windows boot files, your sda1.
And you can only have one boot flag per device/drive.

Use gparted to move boot flag back to sda1. Then Windows should boot.
Make sure Windows fast start up is off. Note that Windows will turn it back on with updates, which you may not even see. Then grub will not boot system as grub only boots working Windows and if hibernation flag is set with the fast start up, then grub will not boot it. Use Windows repair disk to reset MBR to directly boot Windows and turn off fast start up or perhaps other repairs. Then use Boot-Repair to restore grub to MBR and dual boot will work.

After making sure fast start up is off, you can use Boot-Repair booted in BIOS mode to install the BIOS version of grub to MBR.

Fast Start up off (always on hibernation), note that Windows turns this back on with updates
