On your grub2.cfg file, check the top (below) and see what it has for
default=...

# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE
#
# It is automatically generated by grub2-mkconfig using templates
# from /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub
#

### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/00_header ###
if [ -s $prefix/grubenv ]; then
  load_env
fi
set default="0"


Might be 1 or something else.  If so, change it to 0 and you do NOT have
to run the command it says to run.  Just editing is enough.  Reboot and
test.
