Hi All Masters, my Pc is installed with Win10 and Zorin Os. I don't know what has happened, it just boots directly to Win10 without displaying the Zorin Boot Menu.
I tried recovering using the Boot Repair feature in System Tools by booting from the Zorin installation Flashdrive. But sadly, it was unsuccessful and a window appeared saying the followings,
An error occurred during the repair.
Error: NVram is locked (Zorin not found in efibootmgr). Please report this message to boot.repair@gmail.com
A new file (/var/log/boot-repair/20250224_045718/Boot-Info_20250224_0457.txt) will open in your text viewer.
In case you still experience boot problem, indicate its content to:
Locked-NVram detected.
Please help
Thank you
