After restart, choose Troubleshoot > Advanced Options > Startup Settings > Restart.

The fans spun down to silence.

Then, the familiar, chilling click of a system halt.

A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

The PC rebooted. Elias held his breath.

The BIOS screen appeared. The Windows logo spun. Then, the BitLocker recovery screen. Review: multikey

"The system has detected a change in secure boot state. Enter the recovery key to continue."

Elias slumped back in his chair. The system was locked tight. Windows 11 had self-healed, sealing the breach. But he looked down at the USB stick in his hand. The light on the side was solid green.
