GRUB Error: You need to load the kernel first

General Help

I have dual booted Zorin OS 16 with Windows 10. When I boot my system I see the GRUB bootloader to select which operating system to boot. I select Zorin OS and I get this error: Error: Command Failed, you need to load the kernel first Then I switched off my computer by pressing the power button. Then I boot it again, select Zorin OS 16 and it boots perfectly fine.

I have also installed Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Kubuntu on this machine previously. I had the same problem. I have also tried Zorin OS 15.3 earlier and I never got this error. Please help.

Have you tried Grub Repair?

This website shows that Ubuntu does not boot. But Zorin OS boots but not the first time you start your computer. Anyway I will try GRUB repair. Thanks

The need to repair grub does not always necessitate failure to boot.
That said, it is failing to boot.

Ok, Thanks for your help
