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

    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

    Do you have any VM (virtual machine) created on your PC or are you running any type of Emulator installed on your PC?
