I had to re-install my Ubuntu 20.04 dual boot with my Windows 10 PC which had been working fine. I re-installed after repartitioning to give more space to Linux.

I can no longer access the Ubuntu OS even though I can see it with GParted. sda3 is Windows OS and sda5 is Ubuntu OS.

Running boot repair I have the following logs:

However, when I restart the PC, Windows is loaded straight away and the GRUB menu is not shown.

Going through the UEFI Firmware Settings, Ubuntu is not an option in the boot priority order, only Windows.

I have tried setting the bootmgr path to \EFI\Boot\grubx64.efi however the PC just resets itself continually and won't even start Windows.

I just wondered what I can do to restore the GRUB menu or what further information is required.

    What brand/model system? What video card/chip? It says grub was correctly installed & UEFI is showing ubuntu entry as first in boot order? You also have a lot of duplicate UEFI boot entries. Best to remove those. Use efibootmgr & -b parameter as shown here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1198221/cloning-ssd-also-cloned-boot-options/1198228#1198228 Unknown like you have is often from Acer which requires you to set "trust" and rename the unknown entry. – oldfred Feb 07 '22 at 03:33
