The main problem with Grub Customizer is that it is difficult to unwind. And the app's uninstall instructions are inadequate to the point of being plain wrong. Sometimes the only solution is purge-and-reinstall of Grub. You might be in that boot, as it looks like your Grub files have been modified, even if GC never delivered a boot menu you could use. Please report the output of ls -Rla /etc/grub.d. For reference, a clean report looks like this:

Code:

pbear@debian:~$ ls -Rla /etc/grub.d/etc/grub.d:total 92drwxr-xr-x   2 root root  4096 May  8 13:08 .drwxr-xr-x 116 root root  4096 May 17 20:50 ..-rwxr-xr-x   1 root root 10046 Oct  2  2023 00_header-rwxr-xr-x   1 root root  6260 Oct  2  2023 05_debian_theme-rwxr-xr-x   1 root root 14123 Oct  2  2023 10_linux-rwxr-xr-x   1 root root 14180 Oct  2  2023 20_linux_xen-rwxr-xr-x   1 root root 12923 Oct  2  2023 30_os-prober-rwxr-xr-x   1 root root  1372 Oct  2  2023 30_uefi-firmware-rwxr-xr-x   1 root root   214 Oct  2  2023 40_custom-rwxr-xr-x   1 root root   215 Oct  2  2023 41_custom-rw-r--r--   1 root root   483 Oct  2  2023 README
By the way, you can solve the original problem with a custom.cfg (or 40_custom) file. With that, you can specify the names and order of all items on the boot menu except the first. And that name can be set by other means.
