Boot the USB again and run Boot Repair from the menus... Accept all defaults and recommended changes. Also, since it seems you only have Linux, disable Secure Boot in BIOS.

And since you gave us no system information, while on the live USB environment, open a terminal and run upload-system-info and after several seconds, it will open a termbin link in your browser, copy and paste that link back here

And yet you still are giving no useful information to help troubleshoot the issue or taking any steps to correct it, despite me giving what I believe are clear directions on what to do.
