"Device health attestation isn't supported on this device"

Hi there.

When going to windows security, device security and then security processor details, Attestation shows "Not supported" under status.

And when I click on Security processor troubleshooting, it tells me "Device health attestation isn't supported on this device.".

What could be the cause of this? Is it possible to fix it and get attestation to work?

My device specs are as follows:

Intel core i5-7500 processor

16 GB RAM

GTX 1060 3 GB graphics card

B250-HD3P-CF motherboard.

Windows for home | Windows 10 | Security and privacy

    Hi OmairSalman,

    I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    Device Health Attestation is used in a wok environment, it is not required or used on a private PC

    For that function to work, your BIOS needs to be in UEFI Mode and support TPM and Secure Boot and both must be enabled.

    Hi OmairSalman,

    That notification is enabled on all Windows 11 PC's there is no way to remove that notification, it is just a standard notification in Windows security.

    Hi OmairSalman,

    Device Health Attestation does not increase security, it is away for a PC to report to a System Administrator about the security hardware on the PC.

    Below is the documentation that Microsoft provide on Device Health Attestation, it is a process used by System Administrators through a management console to check that all their PC's meet their requirements, it is not a process used by home users.

    Well if TPM wasn't enabled I wouldn't be able to see this screen even now would I?

    both TPM and secure boot are enabled, I enabled them waaay earlier in anticipation of Windows 11 but then found out my CPU doesn't support it on this desktop machine :/ but I never actually checked what they do. What is Device Health Attestation? And if it's only useful in a work environment why is it enabled by default on my Windows 11 laptop?

    If it increases security in any way then I would like it enabled or like fixed if it's possible to fix it even on my personal desktop.

    If that is the case then why is it enabled on my Windows 11 personal machines by default? Is it possible to turn it off?
