Instead of having the Grub menu appear to make a selection of which OS, I get the message:

Failed to open\EFI\ubuntu\grubx64.efi - Not found
Failed to load image \EFI\ubuntu\grubx64.efi: Not found
start_image() returned Not Found, falling back to default

The computer then goes into Windows.

I am a newbie, so please be explicit about any solution. Ubuntu 18.04.

    hmm... why does the path have "unbuntu" instead of "ubuntu"? Did you make a typo when writing this question, or did you make a typo when attempting some kind of manual configuration? – Zanna Mar 20 '22 at 18:08
  • is the partition encrypted? – Andra Mar 20 '22 at 18:17
  • It is a Dell Inspiron laptop. I don't think Ubuntu is misspelled. No, I don't believe the partition is encrypted. After months of working perfectly, this error just appeared. I wonder if it is the result of an update?. – Elinid Mar 21 '22 at 02:09
  • if you are a newbie, it may be too difficult, see this, it's the same problem and a bunch of possible ways to overcome it – Andra Mar 21 '22 at 15:46
  • Thank you, Andra. I pretty much understand what they are saying, and I will work my way through it. It is very kind of you to help me out. I am grateful. Thank you. – Elinid Mar 22 '22 at 03:43

I encountered the same problem. I use Windows 11 and Ubuntu 20.04, but I think it might be the similar solution for you.

  1. Create a live USB/disk of Ubuntu

  2. If you are using Windows 10/11, search for change advanced startup options

  3. Advanced Start Up -> Restart Now

  4. Select Use a Device

  5. Select your USB that has Live Ubuntu on it

  6. Select Ubuntu and Select Try Ubuntu

  7. Connect Internet(Wifi)

  8. Open terminal and type:

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair && sudo apt update

    sudo apt install -y boot-repair && boot-repair

  9. Select Recommended repair

As an alternative solution that I didn't apply:
