ERROR "update-grub" returned an error: exit status 1

I have a Minisform GK41 with Zorin 16 lite installed Jan 2022. I trired an apt full-upgrade a couple days ago Now I get a grub error. The box is still functional; but there is this error that keeps coming up

This is a rather long-standing issue between using zsys and grub - you can read more here (and hopefully resolve your issue). I realize this goes back a few versions, but the fix should be the same.:
