Same problem here. Lenovo Ideapad Flex 10. Came with windows 8 installed and updated to windows 10. Had Ubuntu 14.04 installed as dual boot and had each release of Ubuntu updated since 14.04.
I was dual booting using legacy for Ubuntu and UEFI for occasional access to windows 10. Only recent change has been upgrade to version 17.10. I can no longer save changes to the boot order in the BIOS. I cannot therefore boot from USB and am not able to boot into windows.
We need an explanation of what has has happened during the upgrade and whether or not there is a viable solution or workaround.
The trigger for this problem arising was clearly the upgrade from 17.04 to 17.10. Given that, my expectation is that Canonical will take responsibility for finding the root cause and giving us some alternative solutions / workarounds.
