I can't get it to start after rebooting

Good evening, I recently started wanting to configure and learn Arch. However, I can't get it to start after rebooting. Somehow my Grub isn't working. Can anyone help me?

Not without logs and/or error messages.

Re: I can't get it to start after rebooting

I installed Arch Linux from a USB drive and I'm confident I followed the installation steps correctly.
I ran `grub-install` without any errors, and `grub-mkconfig` successfully generated the `grub.cfg`.
However, after shutting down and rebooting, the system reports that there's no bootable device. It prompts me to press F4 to reset to default BIOS/UEFI settings.

HP laptop with EFI path hard coded in the setup?

Is this BIOS or EFI? Is this a gpt disk or mbr?

You need to give a lot more info.
