Only Windows initialize after install Zorin

My laptop has 2 SSDs, one has Windows 10, and I'm trying to install Zorin 18 on the other one.

I installed Zorin 18 with NVIDIA drivers, and after completing, a message appears showing that everything is installed and I need to restart the system.

The problem starts here. My laptop doesn't identify Zorin/Grub installation, and always initializes directly to Windows.

I tried to install with and without secure boot.
I tried to reorder the boot priority order, moving the SSD with Windows to the last position.
I tried to fix the bootloader following the steps described in the Help page (Repair the Boot Loader - Zorin Help)
I tried to install Zorin with and without internet.

My laptop is an ACER F5-573G-50KS
Intel Core i5-7200U
NVIDIA GeForce 940MX 2GB GDDR5

Try to follow the steps here linked in this post:

Do You have in the Boot Order an Entry called ''ubuntu''? If yes, set it on first position.

Thank you. I followed the steps described in the article, and it solved my problem.

My mistake was that I added grubx64.efi as trusted UEFI, but the right file is shimx64.efi.
