Infinite boot loop - Ubuntu 18.04 (System Boot Order not Found)
I'm relatively new to Ubuntu, so this is the first time I've seen something like this.
After successfully installing Ubuntu in a laptop I wasn't using (Lenovo Ideapad 120s), I'm stuck in an infinite loop.
- First the logo appears.
- Then, the screen flashes with the message: 'System BootOrder not found. Initializing defaults. Reset System'
- It keeps running infinitely, first the logo and then the message again.
I've tried restarting the laptop, entering the BIOS and changing its settings, but I'm not sure if there's something I can do there to stop the loop from happening.
If it's of any help, this problem started when I turned off the laptop after updating Ubuntu. When I turned it on again and tried to use Windows 10 (dual boot) to check if there were any problems, the infinite loop began.
Any help is welcome.
EDIT: Ubuntu 18.04.4-desktop version

You can use Boot Repair. It will regenerate your GRUB and boot installation. To install it:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair
sudo apt install --assume-yes boot-repair
boot-repairIf you cannot access to Ubuntu anymore, use a live CD/USB: and select the "Try Ubuntu" option. Then install there Boot Repair and follow instructions.
Also, as you have an "old" laptop, you should use Xubuntu or Lubuntu, which are lightweight distributions, maybe more suitable for your laptop's configuration.
