Windows 10: UEFI Black Screen Error

Hi my name is Angus Lee and I am a 8th grader very interested with computers, as this is the first year since having recieved my computer, I am still very new to the ins and outs of this device. I have tried to install a virtual machine but it came up with the error “VT-x not enabled” I am trying to enable it through my UEFI ENABLED computer but everytime I try, the screen goes black and I cannot input and commands nor will the computer output any information. Is there a way to solve this problem or will I need to just wait and see if the problem fixes itself. I really want to browse through the internet freely without having to worry about virues so I would really appriciate if someone could help me solve this problem.


Sincerely, that one kid in the back of the classroom that appears to be murmuring something about world destruction and AI ruling the world.
