[SOLVED] AMD PSP Disable

[Elemandares]

Hi,

I'm disabling PSP options from windows after that save and exit bios options later on i'm getting this error at password screen
YOUR PIN IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE DUE TO A CHANGE TO THE SECURITY SETTINGS ON YOUR DEVICE.


I didn't change my PIN because its warning me you might be lose your data i dont want to lose it so i'm not sure it will fix this problem

what can i do about this situtation

PSP controls TPM & Secure boot.
In windows 11 your pin is stored on the TPM.
I am not 100% sure what its used for on win 10, with regards to the PIN.
looks like its stored there though given warning

Why are you disabling Platform Security Processor?

not to be confused with - https://www.techpowerup.com/274805/...-in-collaboration-with-amd-intel-and-qualcomm

thanks for answer and sorry for late feedback

I'm getting random stutter from my laptop, saw some report its because of the PSP options and i want to disable it for checking



And i checked my all hardware its say okey at every benchmark, as well read some user reviews exact some product with me they looks happy and they are not struggling with these stutters i dont understand

There are stutters associated with TPM on AMD motherboards but Win 10 doesn't need/use the TPM so that should be only thing you need to turn off. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/amd-issues-fix-and-workaround-for-ftpm-stuttering-issues

I don't think you can disable PSP as its needed for PC to boot.

So in an AMD CPU containing such a PSP, the boot process only starts when the x86 rest is in a paused state and only the PSP is allowed to run.

Since there are always questions and some things are often confused, we will give you some insights into AMD-UEFI, what is colloquially called “the BIOS” (although it is no longer correct).

Essentially, AMD PSP is a processor-embedded secure runtime environment subsystem. He is responsible for creating, monitoring, and maintaining the security environment, and his duties include managing the PC boot sequence, initiating security-related mechanisms, and monitoring the system for any suspicious activity or events, implementing an appropriate response to same.

This small processor within the processor has its own ROM and SRAM memory isolated from the rest of the system to avoid any type of attack or leak to the information contained in it.

No, not that AMD has released a PSP console. These are the abbreviations for AMD Platform Security Processor , also known as AMD Secure Technology, and it is a secure execution environment that AMD has integrated into its processors since 2013 , just as Intel does with its CSE system. In this...
