Hey everyone, I'm running into a weird problem with Fedora Workstation. Basically whenever my computer starts up, GRUB freezes (sometimes with the menu displaying, sometimes without it). It works fine when, while starting up, I go into the select bootloader menu (for me by pressing F9), select Fedora, and then GRUB works great. I don't have another OS installed, but I think the windows bootloader is still on the device, though Fedora and GRUB are the default bootloader. I do have secure boot on if that changes anything. Any advice on how to fix?

I haven't experienced this exact issue, but do you have fast boot enabled in your bios? If you haven't tried disabling fast boot yet, it might be worth doing.

why is the windows bootloader still on it?

No idea, but it's still listed as an option when pressing F9
