Ubuntu installed but unbootable

I am currently having trouble booting to the Ubuntu image I just installed.
How I installed it:
BIOS Settings:
- Legacy/UEFI => UEFI
- Secure Boot => Enabled / Custom
- Boot => USB
Steps Taken:
- Downloaded Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS from here
- Put it onto a bootable USB drive using UUI (But it would not show up when booting in UEFI so I used Rufus)
- Shrunk Windows 10 Partition
- Booted into BIOS, changed the settings.
- Closed BIOS
- Booted into Ubuntu USB
- Clicked Next, Next, Next...
- Chose "Install alongside Windows Boot Manager"
- I believe it was looking at a different hard drive so I clicked "Another Option" cleared that one and set up a Ext4/swap partitions on the same SSD as Windows 10 in the "free space"
- I go through the motions and install and it says everything went swell and that I just need to reboot.
After I Installed it:
When booting it takes me straight to Windows 10 every time (No GRUB or anything). so I looked around and found this guide. I followed it until step 5 where I was in GRUB. I see "Ubuntu and Windows 10" so I click Ubuntu and it freezes with immediately after on a blank screen (Ubuntu themed gradient background) and it just stays there.

What brand/model computer? What video card/chip? If you have nVidia, you may need nomodeset until you install nVidia driver from Ubuntu repository. askubuntu.com/questions/162075/…

Also the PC I built myself. I'll try that when I get back to my computer, seems like that could be it. But would it also explain GRUB not booting normally?

I hope you still see these. I got it to work so I can boot into Ubuntu but even when I hold downRight Shifton boot it goes straight to Windows. I can still get to it throughAdvanced Startup>Restart Now>USB/HDD>Ubuntubut then on restart it goes back to windows

I tried various things but ultimately the things I think that helped were fixing the graphics card and using boot-repair. Which told me if it didn't work immediately to usebcdedit /set bootmgr path EFIubuntushimx64.efiand now it boots to GRUB ... Going to get grub customizer so I can put windows at the top and put Ubuntu 2nd. Thank you both for all the help ! I'm not sure what to do as this feels like a wasted question because the answers are elsewhere I just needed one answer before using the next. Let me know please !
