HP Recommended

Hello. I am on my third HP laptop this week that has the same booting problem. This one I received I needed to boot into a flash drive, so I turned off secure boot, that's it, booted to the drive. When I was done I went back into the BIOS and turned Secure Boot back on, now the computer is refusing to boot. I am stuck in Automatic Repair loops. This is the third HP laptop I have seen this happen on, and I have gone my entire life without computers breaking due to the BIOS being entered. I cannot understand how this would happen, three times in a row, only on HP computers.
I have reset the BIOS to factory defaults. I can see the drive and it is trying to boot. This is insane that secure boot would permanently disrupt a Windows installation. Does anyone have any ideas?
