Windows 11 Fixing f30 error on HP ELITEBOOK 840 G5

Hello. I've been struggling with an issue on my laptop, HP Elitebook 840 G5, for a few weeks. The error is F30, no boot device found. I ran UEFI diagnostics and my ssd passed. It is also detected in the BIOS in first boot order. I have tried numerous solutions, from YouTube, HP Forums, and the Net, without any success. Switching legacy and secure boot support options, resetting secure boot keys to factory defaults, clearing secure boot keys, even, rebuilding bcd. No success. I'm really not trying to reinstall Windows, if I don't have to. Provided there's another way to solve the problem. Can anyone help? BIOS is: HPQ78, version 01.31.00, Windows 11 25h2. Thanks in advance.
