Help to solve inaccessible boot device on Nitro V laptops

I post my experiences as a question, because I am not able to answer in the forum:

How to solve the "Inaccessible Boot Device" issue:

My laptop has an NVMe SSD installed by default, so I can confirm that the following solution works with this type of drive.

Steps:

Set Supervisor Password:
- I set a supervisor password in the BIOS.
Disable Secure Boot:
- I disabled the Secure Boot option.
Access Hidden BIOS Settings:
- Pressing the Ctrl + S key combination made additional BIOS settings available.
Disable Intel VMD:
- I disabled Intel VMD.

Voilà, the problem was resolved, and the operating system booted up.

Note:

I regret that I couldn't find this information all in one place anywhere. Performing the above steps effectively solves the problem.

You're not right. The list as I provided are not available in any threads but prove me I am wrong. The one provided not covers every required step in a single list.

Thanks friend! This solved my problem! Can you tell me if I need to return the options to default again afterwards?

I have just one question: did this problem start after the bios update? I know the problem is solved. But this problem usually occurs when a bios update changes some settings!
