Question Regarding Undervolting - Helios 300 (2019) PH315-52-71GD

After my laptop was completely messed up and unusuable, I bought an E-Recovery from the Acer store and restored it back to factory settings.

As I don't know much about undervolting, other than the Helios 300 comes undervolted out of the box, I have some questions:

Is it possible the factory reset removed the undervolt value shipped with my laptop?

I read here

https://www.reddit.com/r/intel/comments/gzs0yx/intel_xtu_removed_helios_300_factory_undervolt/

that someone lost their default undervolt settings.

Also, someone replies saying after updating the BIOS to a later version, Acer had removed the undervolt setting and the ability to undervolt manually.

So, as I factory reset my laptop(and also reset it via Reset This PC), will it still be undervolted like when I first bought it?

P.S. My Windows version after the reset is 1909. Also, I never mess with anything BIOS related, so wouldn't have updated it.

Resetting the undervolt values in bios will change the values. I dont think so that resetting the computer to factory reset will change the values.

Kindly go through the details from the links given below.
