I have just upgraded from 18.04 to 20.04.2. 18.04 did not have this problem and simply showed G

I'm affected by this bug as well. I have a Lenovo W550s; after the BIOS checks (which just show the Lenovo logo), GRUB does not appear (but the Lenovo logo is still visible). However, GRUB is there, waiting 10 seconds for my decision.

If don't do anything, after 10 seconds, Ubuntu starts;
I can boot immediately into Ubuntu by pressing enter;
I can boot into Windows by pressing down 2 times and pressing enter.

If I enter the BIOS setup and then quit discarding the settings, then GRUB appears as normal.

Might it be that it's simply not configuring/clearing the screen properly?

Anyways: I'd consider this VERY CLOSE to "makes the system unbootable", so please do something about it.
