Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

I am having some issues. I may have changed a setting in BIOS a long time ago. Issues continue post recovery.

For my machine is it safe to just choose default settings in BIOS?

Hello @MooseSquirrel1 
If this is your personal ZBook and not company-managed, then resetting BIOS to defaults is safe and often recommended, especially when troubleshooting stability or hardware behavior. There is a chance it may trigger the bitlocker key so I suggest having it- HP PCs - Using BitLocker and finding the recovery key (Windows 11, 10) | HP® Support


Hope this helps!
