I've installed windows 10 already, but the time to install ubuntu is coming.

I usually don't need ubuntu, as I just use Ubuntu to use Tensorflow.. so, the 'GRUB' is very annoying thing to me.

I don't want to see GRUB everytime I push my power butten.

I want to use GRUB when I want to use ubuntu. When I don't need ubuntu, I want to boot windows 10 without seeing grub.

help me..

p.s Thanks for your help!!

after I read your answers and comments, I think i should have written more info about my computer.

I use two disk.

ssd : windows 10 drive

hhd : drive for data storage(and ubuntu will be here. I'll shrink this volume to install ubuntu)

Yes you can. When you want to boot to Windows, make the change in your computer's BIOS for Windows to be the primary Boot option.

When you want to boot to Ubuntu or have the choice of Windows or Ubuntu, then make Ubuntu your primary boot option in you BIOS.

Using Ubuntu to presented with the Choice is most likely the best way to go.

Also, there are many ways you can customize the way Grub Looks and how it behaves. But the first thing you see is a black screen with a choice of which OS you want to go into.

Update:

After the comments below, I find that Windows Boot Manager can boot Linux. Ubuntu will have to be on a separate drive for this to work, but you can take a look at this answer:
Is it possible to boot Ubuntu using the Windows bootloader?

After installing Ubuntu on a different drive, use EasyBCD to add the functionally of as they say on their site Dual-boot awith anything you want.

I can't give you a straight answer because there's a fundamental issue with the propositions implied in your question (see below).

What you can do:

  • Use different boot loader than Grub. Some possible alternatives are the one included with your BIOS or Windows.

  • Have Grub default to one boot menu entry after some time when you don't press any keys until then. You can even hide the boot menu and only show a black (or whatever colour you want) screen unless you press Shift while Grub waits.

What you cannot do:

  • Have the boot loader “know” which boot entry you want to choose unless you happen to always want to boot the same entry. The only way to not have to choose is to restrict the set options to one.
