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

If you go back into the Group Policy Editor and undo the setting you previously made in there, then restart your PC is the setting enabled in the Settings app?

This process I provided should fix the problems you are experiencing with the 'IT Administrator' error in Windows security.
