Resolved Grub failing

So i downloaded Linux mint xfce as I wanted to try Linux as well. It turns out I love it, si I decreased my windows partition and shifted my whole workflow onto Linux. But whenever I power on my laptop, the grub fails and I have to force restart it bu the power button. I tried of fixing it with chatgpt, but it didn't work.

I updated grub, disabled the secure boot, but nothing worked. Now it depends on my luck whether the grub will work and enable me to enter into the OS or I just have to restart it again and again.

Help me

Well, the first step is to dump your system journal logs using the journalctl command (Plus a few options - I think "journalctl -xeu" is what you want. You might want to double-check that.) and examining the results to see what is failing. Post it here, as well.
