BIOS on Inspiron 5515 not loading after BIOS upgrade
I upgraded BIOS and it's now not loading. I can only see black screen with a dash in top left corner. I tried downgrading BIOS but it won't let me. I tried BIOS recovery but it doesn't help.
Laptop boots into OS fine.
What I didn't try is resetting BIOS to factory settings and I'm reluctant to do it as I'm afraid of secure boot being turned on. I won't be able to boot my Arch Linux with it, and if resetting BIOS won't help with my issue, I won't be able to turn secure boot off.
Are there any other options to try?
Do you know if this particular model had secure boot factory enabled? It came with Windows 10 installed.

Well, I'll answer myself. Maybe it will save someone's day.
efibootmgr was showing some strange entries like this:
Boot0006* UEFI Misc Device VenHw(77e79a3e-e1fb-501f-a7c1-fa1b3412333a){auto_created_boot_option}
I deleted them all with: efibootmgr -b 0006 -B
