I can't see the GRUB Boot Manager while the disk on which Ubuntu is installed is in the first order in boot priority

bt flag

I can't see the GRUB Boot Manager while the disk on which Ubuntu is installed is in the first order in boot priority, instead I see the GRUB terminal and when I enter "exit" there, my PC automatically boots Ubuntu and I can't make choice between Ubuntu and Windows. More of that, I can't see the Windows disk in Grub Customizer, so I can't configure the boot settings as I wished. What should I do to solve this ?

Configure your bootorder in UEFI settings accordingly, dont use that drive as first entry, look for the entry called `ubuntu`. In doubt, you may disable legacy boot in your UEFI settings, it looks like your using an obsolete legacy bootloader while your sytem is now UEFI.

The grub os prober has been removed for security reasons (don't remember which reasons they mentioned exactly...). That's probably whyn you can't see windows in the grub menu. To see windows again in the menu you'll need to re-enable the os-prober, and update the grub menu.

Assuming you're at least on 22.04, open a terminal and then

  1. become root
    sudo -i
    
  2. configure the grub
    echo GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false > /etc/default/grub.d/myconfig.cfg
    echo GRUB_DEFAULT=saved >>/etc/default/grub.d/myconfig.cfg
    echo GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=menu >> /etc/default/grub.d/myconfig.cfg
    echo GRUB_TIMEOUT=7 >> /etc/default/grub.d/myconfig.cfg
    
  3. update your grub config
    update-grub
    
    You should see something like this
    root@mypc:~# update-grub
    Sourcing file `/etc/default/grub'
    Sourcing file `/etc/default/grub.d/init-select.cfg'
    Sourcing file `/etc/default/grub.d/myconfig.cfg'

    Warning: os-prober will be executed to detect other bootable partitions.
    Its output will be used to detect bootable binaries on them and create new boot entries.
    Found Windows 10 on /dev/sda1
    done
    
  4. kill the terminal and reboot, you should see windows now.

This is a permanent setting, you'll never again have to do that.

and... Memtest86+ needs a 16-bit boot, that is not available on EFI, exiting Differ from yours I saw this. May it be the reason of which I can't see Windows ?

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.
