I've never used "bcdedit /set {default} bootmenupolicy" how does that change the files being booted from?

Theoretically, it tells bootmgr whether to display the text menu or the little blue squares menu.

Thanx, saw it here... How to Enable the Legacy Boot Menu in Windows 10 - Appuals.com

The text menu is not my thing TBH - spent a lot of time getting Grub to boot from GUI.
