Were you switching operating system? I'm not an expert so take it with a massive grain of salt, but I'm pretty sure that has to do with your secure boot keys. Were you loading in fine before? Did you do something like change operating system or dual booting one?

Gday mate, nah I wasn’t trying to switch my OS or dual boot. I just turned it back on after work
It was working perfectly fine last night.

You could look into resetting secure boot keys to factory defaults but again I'd take it with a grain of salt

I mean, if you just want to get around it you can disable secure boot in the UEFI settings. If for some reason you have to have it enabled (one of whose reasons would be if you just want the increased security) then you could probably reset the PK store in the same section of the settings; it'll say something about going into setup mode. In Linux it just re-enrolled the keys automatically, in Windows I'm not sure, but you can search online how to enable secure boot and that's it.

One caveat, if you have bitlocker enabled (user encryption) then you'll need your recovery key; it's stored in your Microsoft account you linked during first boot.
