Cannot reactive Windows 11 after hardware change (presumably BIOS changes)

OS: Windows 11 Home version, Bought it today via microsoft store, digital license

Device: Asus rog strix g16

At first it was properly activated, but then I needed to change settings to enable secure boot and also MyAsus software suggested bios update which I did
After that, at some point in time Windows decided that the license is no longer valid and the error indicated that the hardware has been changed 0xC0EA000A

I tried going to System > Activation > Troubleshoot > I changed my harware recently
I do get some window that says wait a moment, but it always fails with We can't reactive windows as our servers aren't available right now

I tried getting automated help but it tells me that Product key for your device can no longer be used to activate Windows

I tried getting a phone call, but I cannot pick my country in the list because it's not present (Ukraine)

As far as I'm concerned, there was 0 hardware changes (BIOS could be considered a motherboard hardware since it's a firmware, but BIOS software updates are rather frequent, so it would be strange to rely on BIOS)

Please help

 

Windows 8 Secure Boot Feature: Not So Secure?

• Linux
• Linux
• Linux
• Linux
• Oh and OSX

Here is a statement from a Kernal Developer at Red Hat:

I'm not sure this exploits the legacy BIOS but rather it exploits the legacy boot method on MBR drives, injecting a signed key before the OS boots, which you are correct in that it has nothing to do with Windows 8. And the simplest fix would just be to require boot drives use GPT when Secure Boot is enabled in UEFI.
