This is on a Lenovo Thinkpad 13. It dual-boots Windows 10 and Elementary OS with the grub boot manager. It's UEFI.



Upon booting, I received the "error: unknown filesystem" message



Commands:



grub rescue> set prefix=(hd0,5)/boot/grub/ 
grub rescue> insmod linux
error: symbol 'grub_efi_secure_boot' not found.


Alternatively, when I was trying a different approach:



grub rescue> set root=(hd0,5) 
grub rescue> set prefix=(hd0,5)/boot/grub
grub rescue> insmod normal
grub rescue> normal


However, when selecting Elementary OS, I was met with:



error: symbol 'grub_efi_secure_boot' not found.


I'm pretty sure that (hd0,5) is the correct one, though, as it does not give the unknown file system error and the .mod files are there.



Additional/Full context, including potentially useful/crucial bits of info:



I had initially set up this laptop to dual boot Windows 10 and Arch Linux.

Due to some issues with grub not appearing, I had entered bcdedit /set bootmgr path EFIarchgrubx64.efi into the Windows administrative command prompt to make this work.

Eventually, I decided that Arch wasn't right for me and switched to Elementary OS.

I deleted the Arch partitions through Windows, and then installed Elementary OS. I then successfully booted into Elementary and installed some software.

Afterwards, I booted into Windows to do some minor things such as set wallpaper and the like.

After rebooting the computer, I was met with grub rescue, and the above situation has occurred.



Edit: Secure boot is disabled
