Hi guys,
I really checked on what to do to show the GRUB menu on my new laptop. Here is the content of my GRUB file. As I already tagged, this is Fedora 34. I need to access to the Windows menu but, GRUB menu does not show up as an entirety. I tried 2 things,
1)I tried holding onto SHIFT while starting up (Just found online somewhere about this solution but it did not do anything.)
2) Added “GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=menu” line and run the 2 sudo commands
If your system has Windows on it, but you boot it only once a year so you would still like to hide the GRUB menu, you can tell GRUB to ignore the presence of Windows by running:
sudo grub2-editenv - set menu_auto_hide=2
You can check if you have menu_auto_hide=2 set or not.
On new Fedora 29 Workstation installs this will be enabled by default. If your system has been upgraded to F29 from an older release, you can enable it by running these commands:
On a system using UEFI booting ( “ls /sys/firmware/efi/efivars” returns a bunch of files):
sudo grub2-editenv - set menu_auto_hide=1
sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /etc/grub2-efi.cfg
On a system using legacy BIOS boot:
sudo grub2-editenv - set menu_auto_hide=1
sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /etc/grub2.cfg
can you tell me how did you fix it?
When i use sudo grub2-editenv - unset menu_auto_hide I get the grub menu but I don’t get Windows 10
and if i use sudo grub2-editenv -set menu_auto_hide=1 or sudo grub2-editenv - set menu_auto_hide=2 my computer goes directly into Fedora.
Sorry for the bother, I’m a newbie at this and I don’t know much about it.

Did you do the second step shown by Sampson above?
The first makes it visible or not, the second makes it part of the grub.cfg file, and will also add the windows boot entry to grub in most cases.
Note that this thread is more than a year old and you really should start your own thread for this issue.
If your issue is dual booting and you cannot
see the grub menu
and
get a windows boot entry to show
Then your issue is definitely not the same and you should start your own thread with more detail so we have a chance to actually help you.
