Can't get to Grub Menu even after running boot repair - Windows 10/LXLE dual boot

[pgslmatias]

configfile (hd0,5)/boot/grub/grub.cfg

This worked perfectly! I can access Grub menu, and I have tried and successfully entered both LXLE and Windows from it

Now I want to be able to just access Grub menu when I turn on the computer, instead of having to type this everytime (which is the behaviour I'm getting).

I re ran boot repair, this time from LXLE installed on my SSD. This is the output

An error occurred during the repair.
Error: NVram is locked (Ubuntu not found in efibootmgr). Please report this message to boot.repair@gmail.com

Locked-NVram detected.

I googled it and found https://askubuntu.com/questions/1325...nvram-detected saying it's a hardware error, which is weird, as everything is working correctly and so I will disregard this information. It doesn't appear to be my exact situation.

I also googled the fix you gave me and it seems like it is just making grub load the correct configuration file: that is my understanding from https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GRU...rated_grub.cfg

Do you know how to proceed now?

By the way, at this point I am already very thankful <3

I thought the Locked NV-RAM was an UEFI setting.
Some systems not only have UEFI Secure Boot but have added UEFI settings to lock ESP and/or lock USB boot for added security.
Was UEFI updated?
Sometimes you may not know it as Windows updates may include an UEFI update. And now many systems can be updated from Ubuntu/Linux with fwupdate entry in grub or systemd.

But if you have UEFI entry and the configfile works, then it may just be something else.
But I am not seeing problem. GUIDs & UUIDs all look correct.

The chain of boot process is UEFI using GUID/partUUID finds ESP and loads shimx64.efi.
Then in ESP is a 3 line grub.cfg that uses a configfile entry like you now are manually typing. Lines 267 thru 269. It does search by UUID for your / where grub.cfg for install is. You are just typing in what search should find.

I use browser search & plug in GUID/partuuid in UEFI entry and it finds ESP.
Then from ESP I use UUID of its search to find / (or /boot)
Those all look consistent which they should from a grub reinstall using Boot-Repair.

I did not manually update UEFI. I have no idea if Windows did it by itself.

I'm sorry I haven't been able to dig in to figure out what is happening. It seems to just work with the hack you gave me, and I'm ok with typing it everytime I turn on the computer. Should I follow the link in your message about "UEFI boot install & repair info - Regularly Updated :
https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2147295" to see if there is anything else I can do, when I try to make GRUB get to the configfile automatically?

I'm now experiencing another bug when booting. Do you think they are related? This is it: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2482071
