Doesn't boot with newer Kernel, why?

Installed new Kernel 5.13, but after reboot it’s still stuck at older Kernel 5.12:

It’s a dual-boot system with two Manjaro KDE partitions.
Already updated to Kernel 5.13 on the other (first) partition sucessfully, because it will only switch to newer Kernel on second partition if the first partition is already on new Kernel.
This is, because the first install owns grub?

But now it doesn’t switch to newest Kernel anymore on partition 2 (second Manjaro KDE install).
:thinking:

I uninstalled Kernel 5.12 while using it to force 5.13, but no reboot anymore, had to reboot manually with Kernel 5.10 to install 5.12 again to be able to boot.
How can this be solved?
How can i set ownership of grub to the second installation?

Already tried update-grub.
Please help.

Already solved the issue not switching to 5.13. See papajokes posting. :+1:

cat /etc/default/grub | grep GRUB_DEFAULT (in grub owning system)

GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
# line, and set GRUB_DEFAULT to saved.

Is there a way to switch grub owning system?

Thanks
