Question Windows 11 [Bought This Way] Has The "System Requirements Not Met" Message and Loss of Function Warning

[natecombsmedia]

Hi friends,

I have tried everything with Windows support and ASUS to get rid of this message; secure boot, TPM 2.0, etc. are all enabled; and nothing can fix my issues. ASUS is unsure of what is wrong and is wanting me to ship it in to them, which would cause all sorts of nightmares. However, Tom's gets things solved! Here's the story and specs:

• Needed a stronger computer for a video editor job I had. Remembered my previous self-built computer had some issues develop over time, as all computers do.
• Bought a custom build but had ENIAC at Newegg assemble it in the hope of avoiding such issues early on. It is 7 months old and it's a beast to say the least.
• Randomly about 4-5 months in, the message appeared. It wasn't even directly after an update. Spoke with Windows. PC Health Checker indicated secure boot needs to be enabled. They directed me to ASUS before adjusting the BIOS settings myself. Several different ASUS reps told me to do several combinations of different things over many weeks, including removing some keys, resetting some modules, all sorts of stuff. None worked. I couldn't even get booting to work with half of the options.
• Because sending it in would disrupt all my work and they couldn't promise the safety of my machine, and because I have terabytes of data and, more importantly, dozens of keys, codes, and authorizations for all sorts of software I don't want to spend a week explaining to companies I can't de-activate them to re-authorize myself in the worst-case scenario, I am looking elsewhere for solutions.
• I have seen some of the posts and tutorials here. Everything suggested, I have seemingly correct. For example, one YouTube video got the AMD version of a ROG-Strix all the way through turning on the TPM 2.0, and running tpm.msc on my machine shows everything is ready for use exactly the same as his.
• Plus, you know...I have only ever used this computer on Windows 11, and it mostly functions, though I am a bit disappointed at how many little glitches and errors I get.

Any real help would be so appreciated. Thanks a ton!

Thank you. I haven't posted on the forum since it was the old version back in the day. I have updated the original post.

Regarding:

System Requirements Not Met" Message and Loss of Function Warning

When does that message appear: during boot up/POST? Or within Windows 11 or some app being launched?

What do you do to bypass the message? It appears that you can do so and work normally thereafter - correct?

Also noted: "Because sending it in would disrupt all my work and they couldn't promise the safety of my machine, and because I have terabytes of data and, more importantly, dozens of keys, codes, and authorizations for all sorts of software I don't want to spend a week explaining to companies I can't de-activate them to re-authorize myself in the worst-case scenario, "

You do have everthing backed up at least 2 x to locations off of the computer in question - correct? Be sure to verify that all backups are recoverable and readable.

Find out more about your computer's TPM configuration via Powershell's "Get-TPM" cmlet.

Check other computers as well - may not be directly comparable but may provide a clue or two.

Look for some difference in the results and research accordingly.

Do not attempt any "fixes" until certain that the problem is indeed identified and the fix is applicable to your build.

And everything is backed up.

Windows 11 is the original OS

there are at least TWO versions of Windows 11, natecombsmedia.
version 21H2 (build 22000.x) and 22H2 (build 22621.x)

type winver.exe in the Run dialog box to show the Windows 11 version and edition

===

also, this story from Neowin recently came out where the "system requirements not met" message has appeared for 22H2 users.
