First time arch installer here. I just installed arch with grub on a uefi laptop. Everything seemed fine until I rebooted and ended up in uefi settings instead of grub. The grub entry shows up in the boot options but the computer doesn’t seem to care. What could be wrong?

I dont know what information is useful to narrow the problem down so just tell me what logs are necessary an I’ll post them.

Edit: I tried installing using the archinstall script in case I misunderstood the install instructions, but still not booting. Tried both grub and systemd-boot. The laptop is an Asus vivobook S 14 model K3402Z and even though I have been running fedora on it for the last year I believe the issues have something to do with the laptop hardware.

Edit 2: The issue has been resolved. Turns out the step that ruined the install was when I formatted the NVME drive according to this section of the wiki it messed something up, so reverting that fixed everything.

    Secure boot is disabled, but I’m not sure what the second part of your comment means. Do you mean grub requires Secure Boot to work?

      no i was just adding that to explain that grub needs special steps to work with secure boot enabled. if secure boot is off you can ignore that part.
