I have a Lenovo Y50 laptop that was affected by this issue. Following these instructions https://www.fossmint.com/ukuu-install-and-upgrade- linux-kernels-in-ubuntu/ I installed Ukuu and updated my Linux kernel to 4.14.9 after which I could boot from a USB thumb drive with Linux Mint and a second hard drive with Windows 10. FYI........After I installed Ukuu I attempted to update the kernel to 4.14.9 and restarted the computer but it still showed the old kernel from Ukuu and typing "uname -a" in a terminal. I restarted again and then turned the computer off and back on but still had the old kernel. I once again used Ukuu to update the kernel and then restated and this time it upgraded resulting in my computer working properly. The instructions did not state to reboot after installing Ukuu but I am guessing this is why I could not upgrade my Ubuntu kernel the first time and why it did upgrade the 2nd time I tried.
