"Warning Machine not in commited state"

I am responsible for an HP Elite Desk G4 desktop. It has a dual boot configuration with both Windows 10 and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. It works fine except for

"Warning Machine not in committed state"

message while starting up. I scoured the internet, HP forums, etc.

It seems to have no clear answer. Either they say that

If the system board was replaced, branding on the unit is not been done properly, so branding needs to be done by HP certified technician. So, contact HP so that the system board can be replaced/reprogrammed.

My system board was not replaced. So this one is out.

To fix it, all I did was turn Secure Boot back to "Enabled" in the Secure Boot Options in the BIOS.

This worked for one of my friend's Desktops (with a similar configuration). Except that it had only a dual boot Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Q4 OS. Though he can't access the Q4 OS part once he turned on Secure boot.
