I have a Lenovo G50-30 with InsydeH2O UEFI setup utility/BIOS. I can't change any settings except time and date in setup utility. I can toggle settings, but when I exit the setup (Exit Saving Changes) or save changes and then save, and then enter the setup utility again, all settings are back where they were before I changed them.
Settings are not the default ones, but my configuration before installing Ubuntu, the issue started after installing Ubuntu. I have been using Linux for 10 years and own this notebook 2 years, I never had such a problem.
When trying to boot from USB made using Rufus, Etcher.io or UNETBOOTIN (options that worked before) I get a message EFI USB Device (Generic USB Storage) boot failed. I've tried using four different USB drives and all three ports to rule out hardware and software issues. Only USB I could boot after installing Ubuntu is the Ubuntu Live USB.
I've tried re-flashing BIOS, because that should do a "factory reset", but my BIOS is already newest available version, so update utility won't let me flash.
Because of an unrelated issue I can't boot up Ubuntu, but I have a "working" Windows installation.
Update: I've noticed an error flash on bootup before GRUB starts, too quick to read with naked eye, so I recorded it. It says (i deleted video, so it's paraphrased) bootloader error, reading ≤ubuntu's EFI file>; unknown error; reading ; unknown error
After that GRUB starts
