Both Windows and Ubuntu are installed on my computer(a Dell Inspiron laptop). Windows came pre-installed, and I installed Ubuntu myself.
Both worked fine until today, when I turned off the laptop after a bit of browsing. Until then everything worked fine. When I powered the machine back on today, a black screen showed 'No bootable device found'. The grub menu has completely vanished, along with Ubuntu. I played some time with boot settings and finally loaded default factory settings.
Now it just boot into Windows, not even a sign of Ubuntu. I tried to repair grub by following this guidebut it returned 'EFI device could not be found'. Can someone help me? Any help would be appreciated. Please excuse my English.

May be best to see details, you can run from your Ubuntu live installer or any working install, use ppa version not older Boot-Repair ISO: Post the link to the Create BootInfo summary report. Is part of Boot-Repair: help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Info and: sourceforge.net/p/boot-repair/home/Home

"finally loaded default factory settings" sounds like you probably restored the machine's factory-default configuration from the recovery partition, which likely erased your Ubuntu installation. :(
