Security boot violation… I tried everything. Cannot access windows even after disabling security boot.

My laptop literally decided to ruin my day so randomly.

I was booting up a game I occasionally play. Screen decided to spontaneously freeze. Nothing is responding, no keys no mouse just a very stubborn screen freeze while booting game. This happens before (no idea why, screen randomly starts to freeze and nothing works unless I hard reset)

So as usual I hard reset by long pressing the power button until laptop forcefully turns off. Wait a couple of seconds and turn it on again. This usually works.

This time, I get the above message. Upon researching with people with similar experiences, I booted BIOS and disabled Secure Boot Support.
Doing this finally turned on my pc to my lock screen. But the next problem appeared: I can’t log in to my pc as it says “something happened” and that my PIN is lost. I click on “Set up new PIN” but nothing happens.

With more research, some people said to change “Secure Boot Mode” to “Custom” and then Install All Factory Default Keys. I did that all, and still it did nothing.

I’m stuck. I more frustrated at the fact of how absolutely random this is, and very worried for my data and files being lost.

Can anyone please help with this as I don’t know what else to do.

I have an MSI Creator Z16 HX Studio Laptop.
