    [SOLVED] booting and now for some reasonGrub minimal bash-like command after update?

    I updated kali 2018.2 using

    # apt clean
    # apt update
    # apt upgrade
    # apt dist-upgrade
    # reboot

    Now it boots to a black screen saying grub 2 minimal bash-like command

    I can just type exit and it will either boot into grub and load normally, or I have to type exit, wait for it to reload the grub minimal bash-like command screen and type exit again and it loads normally.
    So with this being said I can still fully boot into kali without issue, I just want to get rid of this screen, any suggestions?

    I don't dual boot, everything I've found on this topic is about a windows install breaking grub, I only run Kali 2018.2 on this laptop

    I've tried as follows from this link
    mount /dev/sda3 /mnt

    But I get
    mount: /mnt: unknown filesystem type 'swap'.

    So I tried
    mount /dev/sda /mnt

    And it mounts normally without issue
    I continue with the commands as follows

    mount ?bind /dev /mnt/dev
    mount ?bind /dev/pts /mnt/dev/pts
    mount ?bind /proc /mnt/proc
    mount ?bind /sys /mnt/sys
    chroot /mnt
    grub-install /dev/sda

    And this is where I get
    "Installing for x86_64-efi platform."
    "grub-install: error: cannot find EFI directory"

    And now I'm kind of at a loss and everything I've been looking up is telling me this has something to do with a Windows install but I don't even have windows on this, not really sure what's going on here.
    Any suggestions?
