Installed Linux Mint - No Grub menu, straight to Mint


I have fresh installed Linux Mint 18.3. (Was running Vn.17.2 - support now being withdrawn). When I boot up we go straight to Linux... no Grub Menu.
Any suggestions?
Otherwise all is well.

Installed Linux Mint - No Grub menu, straight to Mint

If grub is your bootloader, it might have in /etc/default/grub
Code:
GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=hidden 
GRUB_TIMEOUT=0
Just edit to what is convenient for you and run
Code:
 
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Generally, hitting the left Shift key or the Esc key will get you the menu on boot. The link below gives a variety of methods that can be used and these change with different releases. Mint 18.3 is based on Ubuntu 16.04.
