I tend to avoid such buttons unless I want to trash the box's setup.
Load defaults will probably trash all sorts of customisation, including
UEFI customisation. Since this thread has gone on about fedora needing a
specific UEFI setup, that could easily have scrubbed it.

So frankly, I don't think you did "essentially nothing". You trashed
everything with a big hammer, much like setting something to "factory
defaults".

It is, however, a good way to get your box to a known state, from which
you can log carefully what specific changes you made thereafter.
