Heya,

I can't see how this is related to the script as it doesn't interact at all with any security settings.

It's likely related to changes to your MS account, changes to your pc hardware or possibly a bad windows update.

I have found this post here on MS forums of someone encountering this issue, with a possible solution involving a third party tool called Hiram BootCD. I don't have any experience with this tool however.
