Sorry, I did not explain in detail.

Please issue the terminal command

sudo update-grub

You will be asked for your password (as confirmation for an administrative action); please enter it (you will not see anything when typing the password, no echo, not even '*' placeholders).

Finally that command should produce some lines of output. Please copy/paste that output into this question document as already done with the output of the other commands.

I figured that out at about the same time you sent further instructions. As I said, I'm new at this and will probably need your patients. I am thankful for your willingness to help.

Open a terminal and issue the command

sudo gedit /etc/default/grub

This should ask for your password as confirmation of an administrative action and then will open an editor with the grub configuration file loaded.

Scroll down about five or six lines and add/remove '#' characters at the beginning of the next lines that it looks similar to this:

GRUB_DEFAULT=0
#GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
GRUB_TIMEOUT=10
GRUB_DISTRIBUTION=...
etc.

Then save the file and close the editor.

As a last step re-issue the command
sudo update-grub

I don't see any "#" characters on those lines. Copied below is what I see:

# If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update
# /boot/grub/grub.cfg.
# For full documentation of the options in this file, see:
# info -f grub -n 'Simple configuration'

GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
GRUB_TIMEOUT=10
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""

Thanks actionparsnip, that solved my question.

Thank You!
