Question Problems with tpm in bios

[Slipz877]

So when I turn on tpm 2.0 in my bios and I click save and reset and I go back into bios it says disabled but I didn’t disable it, it just did it by its owns can somebody help me by fixing this issue

Secure boot and TPM 2.0 generally need to be enabled BEFORE you install Windows, otherwise you may end up with no video output or refusing to accept the settings change. Also, you generally need to have CSM disabled first. What Windows version are you intending to use?

I’m using windows 11 I’m really trying to slice this issue because I want to play valorant

So, is Windows 11 already installed and you're trying to enable secure boot and TPM 2.0 AFTER the fact?

I’m only trying to enable TPM because it let me enable secure boot perfectly fine

Is CSM enabled or disabled.

Normally you shouldn't be able to enable Secure Boot if the OS was installed with it disabled, or it will let you but then bork the system.

It’s disabled

Ok, so let me ask this. For 99% of people the only reason they want to enable TPM is so they CAN install Windows 11, but you already have it installed, although I'm not certain how you did that without it enabled unless you used a work around and are running a not-genuine version of Windows 11. So, what is the REASON you are trying to enable it?

Also, what are the specs for this system (make/model of ALL installed components)?

Agreed. That would be helpful.

I’m trying to enable it because a game called volrant needs tpm 2.0

No, like this. And exact models are required, as it is generally important in almost every situation we see here. Also, I hope you're ok with reinstalling Windows, because in the end that is probably going to be required in order to make this work. You'll also probably end up having to do a hard reset of the BIOS, so hopefully if necessary you're prepared to do those two things.

I’ve seen many people show how to enable TPM while still having windows 11 for other reasons

Well, I do this every day, and for TPM, yes, maybe, but there is a process that needs to happen and that process requires answering questions in order to figure out how to solve the problem. For secure boot, no. Unless you have a hacked version of Windows, enabling secure boot when the OS was installed using a work around or if it was installed in Legacy Mode will generally result in having to start from scratch because the system will fail to boot every time.

Did you purchase and install a TPM 2.0 module? Because if not, you're out of luck. That board does not have onboard TPM 2.0. It has a TPM 2.0 header, but you have to install a TPM module IN the header in order for it to have one. End of story.

I haven’t purchased one because the option to enable it is in the bios so I’m not sure

How do I install it

 

[Darkbreeze]

You have to buy one and install it. They are generally different somewhat from one motherboard manufacturer to another, so you need to be sure you get one that works with your specific brand of motherboard.

How do I install it

You plug it into the TPM 2.0 header on the motherboard.
