Ubuntu dualboot Windows without Grub

ru flag

windows dual boot system. I use grub to navigate between OS. I want to boot directly into ubuntu without any visual or any other delay. I dont use windows much but it is essential for me. So i want to boot to ubuntu directly without any delay so that my computer opens at high speed. And i want to boot to windows when i need. I tried grub2 customizer but even when timeout is 0 it displays and it delays booting. My /etc/default/grub

Do not set timeout to 0, as then if you have issues will not be able to get to grub to boot recovery mode. Is this an UEFI system, where you can directly boot Windows from UEFI boot menu? If so you do not need Windows in grub menu & can turn os-prober off. Remove #, change to "true" and then run `sudo update-grub`. But if BIOS and only one MBR, you just about have to have grub to dual boot.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
