I enabled firmware protection via Group Policy editor, but when I went to windows security the firmware protection button was off and grayed out with a message "This setting is managed by your administrator."

I want the fix and turn on Firmware protection

    Open the old Control Panel, then set View to icons at the top

    Open Programs and Features in the old Control Panel

    On the left, click 'Turn Windows Features on or off'

    In there you will find the Hyper-V setting.

    Something you have installed has caused Hyper-V to not be enabled, you need to enable that for Firmware Protection to be used.

    Open Command Prompt as Administrator, then run this command

    bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype auto

    Restart your PC then try enabling Hyper-V
