No grub menu at boot
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
I cannot get a grub menu. Holding/pressing shift yields GRUB loading but then it just boots as normal. I have edited /etc/default/grub correctly (HIDDEN_TIMEOUT commented out and GRUB_TIMEOUT=10) I have also tried with escape but nothing happens. I have tried Boot Repair already but it also did not help.

Try this:
Open a terminal,
Press Ctrl+Alt+T
Run it:
exec sudo -i
nano /etc/default/grub
In the open file these lines are usually shown
GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
GRUB_TIMEOUT=10
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""
You should leave them like this:
GRUB_DEFAULT=0
#GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
GRUB_TIMEOUT=15
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""
Ctrl+O Save file Ctrl+X Close nano
Continue running:
update-grub
You when restarting should see the grub menu
