Was dual booting Mint 21.3 and Windows 11. Finally made the move to remove windows.
Did an sudo update-grub after removing the windows partitions and it removed the windows entries from the grub config.
System boots just fine, but now I have no grub menu. Which I understand, only 1 OS now. But I had used the Advanced options a number of times to get back into my linux environment after I messed up things. I'm still learning... Is there another route to booting to one of the advanced recovery modes when I mess up my linux instance again... or is there a way to get grub menu to show up with just Mint and Advanced options?

Excellent. I was able to get to the menu by hitting
Esc
. I was also able to add the style/timeout logic to the grub.cfg. Both solutions work great. Decided to leave the change in the grub.cfg. Thanks.
set timeout_style=menu
set timeout=10
