PCR7 status

Hello, I have a problem with my laptop. Originally my laptop had Windows enhanced sign in security turned on and the PCR7 status was bound. Last week though after my laptop was stuck at the Asus logo screen and had to force restart it windows booted fine but PCR7 status is bounding is possible and enhanced sign in security disappeared. In my hyper v VM though PCR7 says it's bound. Can anyone help me reenable enhanced sign in security and set the PCR7 to bound.

It seems to be a TPM configuration or the Secure Boot issue.

Press Win + R keys to open Run menu.

Type tpm.msc and press the Enter key.

Ensure the TPM is enabled and ready. If not, enable it in the BIOS/UEFI settings.

Enter the BIOS and make sure Secure Boot is enabled.

Under Group Policy:

Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Device Security

Verify TPM and security settings.

Reboot and recheck.

Hello,

I checked andtpm.msc says the TPM is ready for use. Secure boot is enabled. As for the group policy, I don't the device security section. Do you have any other possible solutions?

Open PowerShell as Administrator and copy-paste the following command followed by hitting the Enter key:

Start-Process "ms-settings:deviceencryption"

If the above steps don’t resolve the issue, reset the TPM:

Open Settings > Update & Security > Device Security.

Under Security processor, click Security processor details.

Select Troubleshooting > Clear TPM.

Note: Clearing the TPM can result in data loss if used for BitLocker. Back up your recovery keys beforehand.

Hello,

will this start device encryption?

I don't currently use bitlocker but I would like to, I decided to wait to resolve all issues before turning it on. Will this fix the PCR7 and enhanced sign in security?
