What is your system? I had a asus a while back that would do this, efibootmgr would not work with the system bios, I would have to go into bios by using esc/f-key to get into system bios settings and change the boot order.
Open a terminal and post the output of
Code:
sudo fdisk -l
ls /sys/firmware/

Unhappy

Sir, since i had BIOS and because of that my EFI partition was not bootable i suppose,so just switched the EFI partition to BIOS /boot in mint-installation. The system booted though, after running sudo apt update and sudo apt upgrade the system now is stuck in "log in" , when i enter password and error prompts ": unable to launch 'cinnamon-session-cinnamon' X session --- 'cinnamon-session-cinnamon' not found; falling back to default session."
Back to log in session
Can't find way to GRUB to force boot with vmlinuz, initrid.img ...
Or is there any other way??

to get the grub menu hold down the shift key when you first boot, and should be able to select different kernel.
to get to a terminal at the grub menu press e for edit and add text to end of line that begins with Linux or after booting into system alt-ctrl-f1 should give you a terminal.

Are you trying to boot from a USB device?

Cool

Thank you Sir, was thinking of resetting my userid and repos.but running install mint-meta-cinnamon worked.
however, i got this error:

Unpacking ubuntu-minimal (1.417.3) over (1.417.2) ...
Setting up grub-efi-amd64-signed (1.93.14+2.02-2ubuntu8.13) ...
Installing for x86_64-efi platform.
Could not prepare Boot variable: No space left on device
grub-install: error: efibootmgr failed to register the boot entry: Input/output error.
dpkg: error processing package grub-efi-amd64-signed (--configure):

Setting up ubuntu-minimal (1.417.3) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of shim-signed:
shim-signed depends on grub-efi-amd64-signed; however:
Package grub-efi-amd64-signed is not configured yet.

dpkg: error processing package shim-signed (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
No apport report written because the error message indicates its a followup error from a previous failure.
Errors were encountered while processing:
grub-efi-amd64-signed
shim-signed
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Quite annoying since everything seems well but such error is inevitable. Any suggestion or two?

that may have something to do with your bios settings on your system.

In your Bios, make sure Secure Boot is disabled.
