I restored the default settings to Secure Boot. Big mistake


Recommended Posts

I tried to get the latest secureboot certificate for my old Dell 7010 Optiplex machine.  
I restored the default settings to Secure Boot. Big mistake.
 Now when secure boot is on. The machine doesn't boot and complains about no booting devises. 

The computer's secure boot can't find where to boot and the information apparently has to be entered manually.
 Secureboot's settings are now years old and it can't find a new configuration. 
What could be done here?
There are plenty of files to choose from in the secureboot menu, but I don't know what to put there for each of the four

Windows 11 upgraded from 10..... originally who knows what (used machine)

without secureboot it booting normally

Appreciating this guide is for HP Laptops but here's how to update the UEFI certificate database manually whether the OEM supports it or not:

See if this article I wrote the other day works for you.

This might work, but the boot menu F12 only shows hdd and dvd+/- and Niks

In the bios all usb are enabled.

the usb stick is in place and in the boot menu it does not show up in the bios boot order.
