    Howdy and Welcome. Been in your shoes before.

    More than once even

    Grub editing is done /etc/default/

    harry@biker:~
    $ cd /etc/default
    harry@biker:/etc/default
    $ ls
    acpid         console-setup  grub       irqbalance  nss       rsyslog        tmpfs
    acpi-support  cron           grub.bkup  keyboard    ntpdate   saned          ufw
    avahi-daemon  cryptdisks     halt       locale      numlockx  smartmontools  unclutter
    bluetooth     dbus           hwclock    networking  rcS       ssh            useradd
    bsdmainutils  devpts         ifplugd    nfs-common  rsync     tlp            wicd
    

    Notice my backup < named grub.bkup > ? I backup certain files right after a install. Just habit now. I don’t dual boot anymore either, Though I used to be a grub4dos fanatic years ago.

    Now I just swap out hard drives instead of editing grub. Takes me about 5 minutes. You might want to start a thread in New Users for your grub problem.
