Firmware protection off and button grayed out

Anonymous

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

I think your processor does support System Guard, it is a recent processor model, but I do not know what changes you have made in Group Policy that may be causing it to not be allowed on your PC.

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.
