After installing the new kernel yesterday, Ubuntu 16.04 starts with an additional screen containing a choice of Ubuntu, Ubuntu options, and memory test. How can I delete it?

The screen you are referring to is called grub. It's necessary in case of a multi-boot system, but it could be useful to determine and solve some issues on your system.
You cannot delete but you can hide it. To do this:
Open a terminal from inside your system and digit
sudo nano /etc/default/grub
Pressing Return, you will be requested the admin password, insert it and press Return again. The file at the path specified will open in your terminal.
Find the parameter
GRUB_TIMEOUT=[Any value]
and change it to
GRUB_TIMEOUT=0
If the parameter GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT would have a value different from 0 change it to 0 too.
Save your edited file with Ctrl+O and close it with Ctrl+X
Then, always in the terminal run the command
sudo update-grub
and press Return.
At the next reboot you will not be able to see Grub screen.

I am little surprised because I have only Ubuntu 16 with the newest generic. I've changed GRUB-TIMEOUT to 0 and it's better now. – Wabi Jan 11 '18 at 19:08

But with grub you could boot the system loading the previous kernel. Anyway, if you find the answer useful, don't forget to vote it up. thanks – MKay Jan 11 '18 at 22:20

@MKay Surrounding keyboard keys with
<kbd>and</kbd>makes them look like keyboard keys in your answers. – Chai T. Rex Jan 11 '18 at 22:31 -
