Thanks, I will have a look. What puzzles me a bit is the my desktop
computer, which I am using now, is working fine. Yet both computers are
up to date.
Anyway, it may not be so simple. The method suggested is via using a
USB stick with the MX Linux iso on it. I did try that, but the laptop
will not boot from the stick. I finish up with the same error message.
If it worked I would have tried the boot fix file in MX Tools.
How old is the MX Linux iso you're trying to boot? The Grub issue was a
properly messy one involving revoked certificates and a bodged fix so
it's entirely possible for the effected machine you'll need a brand new
download of the current live/installer image on their website. Try that
first.
If that doesn't work either then try another distro's live boot instead
to see if that boots.
To save writing multiple one-shot images to individual USB drives do
yourself a favour and set up Ventoy first on a relatively large
thumbdrive or even a spare USB hard drive if you have one. Once the
drive is setup you can just dump multiple install images in a directory
and then choose which one to boot at start up.

Don't worry if your laptop still won't boot properly, it might need a
firmware reset as well/instead.
Funnily enough the bug seems to only (?) hit BIOS systems and not UEFI
ones. Might be worth accessing the laptop's firmware just to confirm
what the settings are.
When you last did an upgrade do you remember seeing an interactive
prompt popping up and asking you mid-install about reinstalling the
bootloader and asking you to confirm which disk by the way? If you use a
GUI to do your software upgrades it may not have shown as it does in a
terminal.
