I have observed through the last monthes failures when booting.  
EFI failure, file not found …  
“Failed to start MokManager: Not Found  
Something has gone seriously wrong: import\_mok\_state() failed: Not Found”

The problem seems to be known ( [https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1845466](https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1845466) ) and seems to be solved since GRUB 2.04.  
My secure boot is disabled in BIOS.  
I think I see that issue when Kernel updates have been done. (need to observe)  
Boot is possible via USB. After boot from USB, problem is solved so far.

yes, that is exact what happen.  
When update kernel we get this failure - just tried again without update: all well.  
I will try that, copy MOKManager  
\_Assuming you cannot fix your firmware, workaround is to copy MokManager.efi from \EFI\openssue\ to \EFI\Boot. \_
