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 you need to remove any changes you made in the Group Policy Editor and restart your PC to get back to standard Windows settings.

    If you cannot enable it after reverting any settings you changed in the Group Policy editor, then some hardware on your PC may not be compatible with that option, and it would be best to just leave that disabled, there is no problem caused by leaving it disabled.
