Fixed it by re creating the boot files using elevated command prompt.

So I updated my BIOS, and when I went to re-enable secure boot, I got the error switching to IPv4. I disabled network-based boot, and then I got the error "Could not find Windows Installation Media. Press OK to return to Boot Manager". In Boot Manager, I can see the Windows Installation Media, but the same process happens. If I disable Secure Boot, Windows boots just fine. I need to enable Secure Boot to play Valorant and League of Legends. When I went to check the UEFI settings, theres no option to enable it like the USB boot and IPv4 boot options just above it. UEFI does not appear in the boot menu either

2026-08-11T19:32:25.39+00:00 Theres no option to boot from UEFI in the boot manager. In the firmware settings, UEFI settings is an option but there is no box to enable it unlike the USB boot and Ipv4 just above it.
