I have a Lenovo laptop. This morning a BIOS update came up from the built-in Lenovo Vantage software. It installed automatically and now my laptop won't boot into Windows.
When I turn it on, it flashes a message 'System BootOrder not found' and loads grub command line. I used to have Ubuntu dual-booting on the laptop and apparently I didn't remove grub.
If I type exit at the command line the boot menu loads, where Ubuntu is still listed for some reason, and selecting the drive containing Windows just leads to the same result (message then grub).
I have tried running boot-repair from a live USB, and removing the Ubuntu record using efibootmgr, neither worked and the Ubuntu record just comes back after a restart. I also tried flashing Linux to an external HDD, but it fails with a grub efi error.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as currently I can only boot from a USB. Thanks.
EDIT: efibootmgr -v

The NVMe drive (14) has Windows on it. Ubuntu (0) is not actually installed .
efibootmgr
, so I'm assuming you have UEFI and not BIOS.
