I have made a complete Linux install on an USB stick of the latest Manjaro, so the stick is « setup like a hard disk ». It will boot on other UEFI machines but will not boot on the ProBook x360 11 G1 EE.

As a side note, this is my son's student machine, he needs it daily in college and also often needs it at home, so I don't have it available all day and I cannot do experiments that would break the installed Windows (alas). I have also been on travel between XMas and january 1st, my son at another place with his machine, and I will be in travel again all february. So I volunteer to perform all necessary tests to understand this issue better, however for the reasons above it may take some time before I can both have the machine at hand and time to work on the issue. But I will try my best to perform all proposed tests - and already did quite a number of them... So far my understanding of the issue is : as soon as the computer loads grub, it freezes, independantly of the distro, used, whether be it from an ISO image or a "normally" installed distro, and whether grub was directly loaded from UEFI, or chained from rEFINd. rEFInd works, Syslinux loads and boots ; grub hangs.
