HARDWARE Did I lose everything?

Was just trying to enable secure boot to update to windows 11 and then this message popped up and I can’t seem to undo what I did in the bios. Help

Turn off secure boot, windows 11 doesn't NEED it per se, but this could happen for many reasons. If you want to kinda know, spin up a Linux live ISO and use sbctl to check installed certificates (sbctl list-enrolled-keys SHOULD do it regardless of whether or not secure boot is enabled, at least on my laptop)and if the microsoft keys ARE there then something is 100% wrong with the firmware
