Windows 10 fails to start.

Hello, following a power outage the Windows operating system won't start anymore, I have the manufacturer's logo at startup and after that the screen goes completely black, I can access the BIOS/UEFI boot menu by pressing F11 during startup and that's it. I tried changing the boot order by putting the HDD where Windows is installed first but nothing helps. When I go into the boot menu at startup and press the hard drive where Windows is it shows me a "secure boot violation", is it because of secure boot that Windows 10 refuses to start?
And also when I try the technique where you have to shut down 3 times during startup to access safe mode it doesn't work, it only shows a message with my config info and a message that says "all settings were reset to default values", "press F1 to Run Setup", "press F2 to continue", when I press F1 I can access the BIOS/UEFI and when I press F2 it shows me a black screen with a blinking _ that appears and disappears immediately.
What should I do?

Hello,
Disable Secure Boot in the BIOS -
Oh big thanks to you Fabul, it works, I had been looking for a way to solve the problem for 3 months.
I was going to ask you if it’s normal that the computer became slow at first, but after seeing the number of Windows updates that were being downloaded, I think it’s quite normal ^^

You're welcome,
I’m pasting a portion of the tutorial I created here to lighten the operation
If your system is slow due to too many programs running for no reason in the background, you can manage it with Autoruns and services.msc
You can review all startup software to ensure that everything that is run is useful with Autoruns, Services.msc, and Process Explorer
Download Autoruns here, extract everything into a new folder anywhere, and run it as administrator.
If you see error messages, try version 13.98 (Be careful to download Autoruns.zip, lower down, not an ad-software at the top of the host)
Look at all the details, and do research if needed.
In the "Logon" (Registry Run, Startup) and "Scheduled Tasks" tabs, disable or remove from startup unnecessary third-party items that are not Microsoft or Windows essential, either by unchecking them, or by right-click > Delete.
Check the "Services" tab, but do not disable them if they are sometimes useful; it’s better to set them to "Manual" (On Demand) with Windows' services.msc by right-clicking the Start button > Run: services.msc
With Autoruns you get the list of Non-Windows services, which helps a lot.
Changes will take effect after restarting Windows.
After restart, with Process Explorer run as administrator, you should mostly see Microsoft Corporation processes
