I have solved the problem after rebooting the system
I was afraid after a reboot will not boot because of a problem with Grub

I encountered the same problem, after my system had been asleep (suspend
to RAM). It seems to be a EFI firmware bug, as rebooting resolves it,
as you found out. It affects other distributions as well, such as
Ubuntu:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub-installer/+bug/1851922.
You could try setting your boot compatibily mode to Legacy instead of
EFI in your BIOS settings, if your machine supports this.
Otherwise, there's not much to do (than complain to the manufacturer)
unless your board is supported by Libreboot :-).
