guys, as regards making the USB card work... thank you, there will certainly be a way, but I'm not so expert as to be able to get my hands on a distro, instead I wanted to ask why by starting the dual boot and choosing zorin, it goes on a while and then everything stops with the zorin icon, while if I start boot with Windows, open the system, stop and restart with boot, zorin, and it starts without problems. That is, if I don't boot with win first, at the next boot I won't boot with zorin
bloccato qui, se avvio Windows e poi arresto sistema.....riparto con boot zorin, tutto a posto, devo passare ogni volta da Windows prima.
English:
stuck here, if I boot Windows and then shut down..... I start again with boot zorin, everything is fine, I have to go through Windows first every time.
In Windows, check that "Turn on Fast-Startup" is disabled [un-tick] in Settings>Power Options.
it's as if it doesn't detect the PCI wi fi card at boot by launching zorin, but if Windows starts and sees it, then I restart and this time zorin starts....
installed zorin os 17.1 twice for the same problem, dual boot starts, if I choose Windows, the system starts easily, if I start zorin it freezes at the 1st screen, I attach screenshots, it rarely starts, I boot it luckily, and never with the laptop turned off, but first switching to Windows and then restarting.
Have you done that?

hi, I asked you for help with a problem but I didn't get an answer. I ask you again, I installed in dual boot, Windows and Zorin 17.1. If I turn on the PC and choose Zorin, 2 screens and it doesn't go any further. If instead I start Windows and then from the started system, restart and choose Zorin again, it starts without any problems, in practice I have to go through Windows first, restart and choose Zorin from the dual boot
What does your grub menu screen look like?
For dual-boot, grub menu should have Zorin at the top, then other options, then Windows at the bottom. Can you post a screenshot of your grub menu.
Also post a screenshot of the last screen you see.
I am puzzled why you cannot first boot ZorinOS from grub. But can boot Windows from grub, then from Windows Restart back to grub you can then boot ZorinOS OK. Is that a correct understanding?
Does your PC have EFI? I am wondering if you have more than 1 EFI partition or something that is messing with grub.
Others on the forum may have other or better ideas?
you understood the problem well, the system is EFI, only win11 partition and unknown zorin, I post screenshots in succession
dopo la schermata zorin, si ferma e non va più avanti.
solo se riavvio da Windows, grub funziona
I think the Pictures look like they should. Please start Windows. Look there for cmd.exe do a right-click and choose ''run as Administrator''. And then type there bcdedit /enum firmware and post the Output here.
Other Things:
Did You controled the Checksum of the ISO?
Did you tried with the zorin USB Stick in Try Mode the Boot Repair Tool?
Okay, thank you for the Picture. I see that the EFI-File from Zorin is there. and it is on the same Partition like the Windows Boot Manager. So, this looks good for me.
I would suggest that You try it with the Boot Repair Tool from the Zorin OS Live Mode.
I discovered another thing. if I boot with F10 and choose boot device, Ubuntu, the grub starts, I choose zorin and everything works ok, if instead I turn on and at the grub I choose zorin again, nothing freezes... I tried with the recovery from live, but the repair does not finish, it gives me this error message.
I entered the live USB to repair grub. Now it won't even let me enter there anymore, after selecting test zorin and selecting language, it gets stuck on this screen and doesn't proceed, however in a previous attempt to access live after trying to perform the repair, I got the error message nvram is blocked, write an email....
I'm tired, I'm going back to win 11, it will be beautiful, but a thousand problems between installing it and maintaining it, too approximate, nothing goes smoothly.....I give up....they still have to fix it, too many hitches....
Re: error SGX disabled by bios.
Some have found opening BIOS and setting "SGX software enable" solves this.
