I recently upgraded from an HDD to an SDD and decided to switch the BIOS to UEFI. I edited /etc/default/grub to show the menu and to have a 9 second timeout, and ran sudo update-grub afterward, but the menu still doesn’t show. I’ve tried hitting the ESC key, as well as SHIFT, but neither of those work either. It’s possible I wasn’t pressing either of those keys at the right time; I tried during when I suspected the timeout was running, but shouldn’t that be unnecessary since I have the menu set to show? I currently have the 6.11 and 6.6 kernels installed. My grub config is the following:
# GRUB boot loader configuration
GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
GRUB_TIMEOUT=9
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="Manjaro"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash resume=UUID=7c9c31ff-c694-47ff-a4f9-51004c036aca udev.log_priority=3"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""
# Preload both GPT and MBR modules so that they are not missed
GRUB_PRELOAD_MODULES="part_gpt part_msdos"
# Uncomment to enable booting from LUKS encrypted devices
#GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK=y

# press ESC key to display menu.

GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep
# Uncomment if you want GRUB to pass to the Linux kernel the old parameter

#GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true
# Uncomment to disable generation of recovery mode menu entries
GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY=true
# Uncomment and set to the desired menu colors. Used by normal and wallpaper
# modes only. Entries specified as foreground/background.

# Uncomment to get a beep at GRUB start
#GRUB_INIT_TUNE="480 440 1"
# Uncomment to make GRUB remember the last selection. This requires
# setting 'GRUB_DEFAULT=saved' above.
GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true
# Uncomment to disable submenus in boot menu
#GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=y
# Uncomment this option to enable os-prober execution in the grub-mkconfig command
GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false
# Uncomment to ensure that the root filesystem is mounted read-only so that
# systemd-fsck can run the check automatically. We use 'fsck' by default, which
# needs 'rw' as boot parameter, to avoid delay in boot-time. 'fsck' needs to be
# removed from 'mkinitcpio.conf' to make 'systemd-fsck' work.
# See also Arch-Wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fsck#Boot_time_checking
