I should also have asked if the machine dual boots windows. If so, you need
to check step 3 of Dell's dual boot installation instructions (for Ubuntu, but I can
confirm that the same steps work for Fedora):
The machine is multiple boot, but only Fedora distributions.
The upgrade of the Bios does not help.
No fast start u
Open Control Panel (The windows key + X is a shortcut on all recent versions.)3. Ensure you are logged in as an Administrator and check if Fast Startup is disabled. (This can affect whether GRUB can pick up your Windows installation at a later stage.)
Open Power Options
Select Choose what the power button does
Select Change settings that are currently unavailable
Ensure that the box marked Turn on Fast Startup (Recommended) is disabled
Upgrading Windows sometimes resets this to "enabled" (after grub has found the
Windows installation) which causes problems booting Fedora.

Do your BIOS currentsettings look like:Boot Sequence: Legacy (USB & PCIe)Advanced Boot Options: Legacy Option ROMs EnabledSecure Boot Disabled.No, it isBoot SequenceAdvanced Boot OptionUEFI Boot Path Security
These are the headings. Surprising there aren't values for the settings after the ":", but I assume
the system is using UEFI.
Actually, all thses options have a sub menu.
UEFI
Legacy Option ROMs Enabled
Always Expect Internal HDD (setting to always does not change the behavior for the Fedora line USB stick)
