I turned on my Omen 30L Desktop today and was greeted with a "Secure Boot Violation" message. I've tried troubleshooting all day because I just want to get back to playing Red Dead Redemption II. My BIOS is dated 8/27/21 and the revision is F.11. I'm not sure what triggered this, but I need a way to exit the HP PC Hardware Diagnostics UEFI screen. I attempted to update the BIOS, but it keeps saying the "BIOS image was not available" and eventually just fails. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

It sounds like with Secure Boot enabled, something on your system might have changed, possibly affecting the drive's signature. If you didn't have BitLocker enabled, try pulling the drive and using an external USB adapter or another computer to check if you can access your files. Alternatively, boot with a live USB and use gParted or a similar tool to see if you can get into it.
I actually have BitLocker on my drive, and it sometimes prompts me for a code on startup. I'm puzzled about how the signature got altered. I just shut down my apps and turned off the PC the last time.
