Manjaro KDE 21.1.0 EFI problem - cannot enter BIOS pressing F2 nor grub remembers last booted OS (when using BTRFS)

The problem is not boot from USB.

It is not enter BIOS setup, pressing F2 after reboot/turn on notebook, after install [ Manjaro 21.1.0 | Garuda KDE | Debian 11 ].

Deleting /EFI/ [ manjaro | garuda | debian ] the BIOS setup can be accessed again but then I can only boot to Windows 10.

I had no problem entering BIOS setup when booting and running Debian 11 Live USB.

Also, FWIW, I tried out EndeavourOS on my dv6-7210us and had no issue like I had with Manjero and Arco – hence my inference that the issue is rooted in Arch Linux common core of the distros was incorrect.

Hello, my problem with a acer pc is the same, when i go to F2 the screen is blank.
Multy boot (F12) is working, Windows and manjaro to.
I have made a call to Acer,
I have unlock the battery, and pushed the switch to reset the bios it didn’t help.
