I wanted to play Valorant, so I tried to enable the secure boot feature from the BIOS, when I went into the bios I change my OS Type to "UEFI Windows" and I changed Secure boot mode to "Standard" after saving and restarting it rebooted into BIOS again. I just got the computer yesterday and I have no idea why this keeps happening.

Update your post to include full system hardware specs and OS information.

This:

"so I tried to enable the secure boot feature from the BIOS, "

What was the specific reason for making those changes and what procedure/process did you follow?

After you make the changes are there any prompts to "save", "approve", "confirm" or otherwise make the change permanent?
 
Why is my computer automatically booting to the BIOS? Its because you need to reinstall Windows if you want to switch to UEFI. Windows has to be installed in UEFI mode you can't just switch from Legacy BIOS to UEFI mode in the bios. You may also need to reformat the disk, because in UEFI mode Windows requires GPT partitions. Their is a way to switch from Legacy BIOS to UEFI mode without reinstalling windows you could try this
