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

    The issues I found

    The Event Viewer says: System Guard enabled but not supported. Reason: The required platform module was not found.
    But I have the latest fTPM 2.0 module on my AMD Ryzen 5950X

    Also in services you can't run System Guard Runtime Monitor Broker.

    I can fully confirm the problem. It's a bug. Somehow Firmware protection also disappears when you change the values from Enabled 1 and Managed 1 to anything else. I also used the Device Guard and Credential Guard hardware readiness tool. I have the latest pricey system on the market. I also enabled IOMMU Hyper-V etc. so the full security potencial but nothing works. Is there somehow a way to activate "Turn On Virtualization Based Security + Secure Launch" without triggering the Group Policy? Manually registering in the Registry doesn't work either.

    No there is no other option, you need to reset Windows to put it back inti its initial state without all the changes you have already made.

    Microsoft removed the LSA setting from the Security settings a few months ago due to a bug that kept appearing in Windows Security.
