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?

Okay, we need to check another location in your registry.

Click View and make sure 'Address Bar' is turned on.

Paste this into the Address Bar at the top and hit Enter.

KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\DeviceGuard\Scenarios

Expand the Scenarios key (folder) in the left pane

Please provide a screenshot of that Registry Editor page.
