GRUB Command line on boot

[geek-ash]

Hey people. I am a newbie with linux. I dual-booted PopOS! 22.04 alongside Win11 on my about laptop 6 months ago. I was not using PopOS that much, hence moved the Win boot option to the top. But now a days I use PopOS sometimes and hence wanted to see the grub menu on each boot. But that grub boot option probably disappeared from my boot options list. Hence I created a new one from the file "\EFI\pop\grubx64.efi". In the past (around an year ago), I had used similar file to create a boot option to boot into the grub menu.
But now, when I boot into this option, it boots into the grub command line. I enter exit, and then it moves on to the second boot option i.e.- the Win boot manager.
I also have a boot option which directly boots into PopOS, which means I am able to boot into both the OS's. But I still need the grub menu on each boot.
I ran this boot-repair thing and http://*******.us/XjrWGD here is my boot-info-summary pastebin
I request the experienced people to kindly tell me if I should proceed with boot-repair's recommended repair option or if some other solution.
Thanks!

Your boot repair link was not working so I attempted a repair which did not work.

Can you please run it again and simply add the given link to a reply of your own. Many thanks.

Oops, it seems something went wrong with the boot-info-summary link. Hopefully this link works now.
Or use: http://*******.us/XjrWGD
Edit-1: If there are stars in the above link, replace them with "*******". I don't know what is happening with links on this forum
Edit-2: Replace the stars with s_p_r_u_n_g_e. Remove the underscores obv.
Thanks

The link still doesn't seem to be working. Here's another try:

I have also tried again but still no luck; can't even get the word ******* to stay in the text!

Try running boot info script again to get a new link.

The link is: s p r u n g e .us/XjrWGD
Just remove the spaces in the above given link and you should be able to see the boot-info-summary-pastebin.

Boot-Repair normally gives link to pastebin site.

You should only have one ESP per drive.
Many systems will not work with more than one, although UEFI does allow it, and it seems your system is working ok with it?

When grub sees more than one install, it should automatically show menu.

Not familiar with your 31_linux_zfs.
Is that something grub adds for zfs systems or something unique to PopOS!?

With 18.04 or later to always see menu

By default, Pop!_OS uses Systemd-boot, not Grub, unless installed in legacy mode. As I understand it, Windows 11 doesn't allow legacy mode, so you'll have Systemd.

You can check with this command:

[ -d /sys/firmware/efi ] && echo 'Installed in UEFI mode' || echo 'Installed in Legacy mode'

If it's installed in UEFI mode, you have Systemd, not Grub.

I don't know Systemd, sorry. As System76 creates Pop!_OS for its hardware, read System76's help. If that doesn't help, maybe someone here knows Systemd, or you can ask on Pop!_OS's support forums?

Side note: I wonder why Ubuntu Forums doesn't like "sрrunge"? I can find very little about it in an internet search, none of which is offensive. (I used unicode to display the word, which is why you can see it.)

I just removed the older one and installed the grub again. It works now.
Thanks!

Yup I found this at other places also that Pop!_OS uses systemd. But reinstalling the grub does the job for me. Now I can see the Grub menu on each bootup.
Thanks!
