Can't access UEFI on windows 11

Hello,

I updated to windows 11 a while back already, I haven't needed to enter the UEFI after that yet but now I do, however I can't seem to enter it, I've disabled fast boot in power management options, tried entering through windows recovery restart. When trying that it just leaves me on a black screen forever. No option to simply enter bios when booting up and spamming DEL, as I used to before, when trying to enter UEFI through a CMD command I get the error "The system could not find the environment option that was entered (203)"

Would clearing CMOS help with this and if I do clear CMOS would I be able to boot back into windows 11?

    Check for BIOS updates on the manufacturer's website, if you need help with that, tell me the motherboard/laptop computer model

    Well I could boot into UEFI but after changing anything in there it wont boot up anymore at all, just goes to black screen and after a while just shutsdown, then repeats it until I reset CMOS again, was only able to boot if I didn't touch anything in UEFI.

    Hi Dorter,

    I'm Rodrigo and I will help you.

    After everything you tried, clearing CMOS is the option, after clearing it, you still can boot to your OS.
