Windows 11 not booting on Mac

[2W10]

Hello,

I have a MBP (MacBook Pro 16,2) installed with Windows 11 only, and I tried to upgrade from 22523 to 22526, but a few hours later it hung on a black screen. It was stuck on this screen and I left it for 5 hours and was still stuck on this screen. I am unable to boot into internet recovery as I deleted Mac OS off the machine. I tried making a USB, and tried booting it on the Mac, but it redirected me to the internet recovery screen. I tried booting into internet recovery, but got the -2002F error. I read that this is because the T2 chip doesn’t allow booting from a USB unless some settings are changed. How can I restore the Mac?

Welcome to our forums.

You put yourself into a bind by removing macOS and installing Windows. The T2 chip is a security feature and has you locked out. You will need another Mac, and also read thru this:

Revive or restore an Intel-based Mac using Apple Configurator 2

In rare circumstances, Apple computers may become unresponsive and the chip’s firmware must be revived.

If I am unable to access another Mac, would there be any other option other than taking it to an Apple store?

Probably not. If the machine did not contain the T2 chip, it would just be a matter of installing macOS via a flash drive. However, newer Macs such as your contain the T2 security chip which makes things more complicated.

It could be worse. The new Silicon (M1) Macs are even more complicated. Good luck and we hope an Apple Store will be willing to restore your MacBook Pro for free.
