I'm dual-booting Windows 10 and Kubuntu 16.10 and I had the issue with the grub2 config file having a 10 second timeout then defaulting to 30 seconds upon boot.
I tried the workaround in post #8 which then caused my boot menu to be completely hidden. I then removed both files described in the workaround and removed the GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT value and ran sudo update-grub which seemed to have fixed my problem.
I have also had hibernation enabled for some time as noted in the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT "resume=UUID=xxxxx" (swap partition) argument. I find hibernation extremely useful with laptops (I've removed the UUID for security reasons)
