Answer 1

Hi,

TPM ready means TPM is enabled for your device.

To access TPM Settings, you must enter BIOS menu.

• Open the Settings app by pressing the Win + I keys.
• Navigate to System > Recovery if you are running Windows 11. Concurrently, use Update and Security > Recovery option for Windows 10.
• Click the “Restart Now” button next to Advanced Startup.
• Choose the Troubleshoot option.
• Select Advanced options and choose UEFI Firmware Settings.

I hope this information helps. If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to reach out.

Otherwise, please take a moment to rate the answer. Wishing you good luck!

Use these steps to check and fix TPM issues in Windows 11 Pro when tpm.msc says “TPM is ready for use” but there are still problems.

1. Verify TPM 2.0 is present and enabled
   1. Open Settings > Update & Security > Windows Security > Device security.
   2. Under Security processor, select Security processor details.
   3. Confirm the Specification version is 2.0.
      • If there is no Security processor section, the TPM may be disabled in firmware. In that case, restart the PC, enter BIOS/UEFI, and enable the TPM (often called TPM, fTPM, PTT, or similar), then boot back into Windows and check again.
2. Check TPM status with the management console
   1. Press Windows key + R, type tpm.msc, and select OK.
   2. Confirm the status shows “The TPM is ready for use” and that a Specification Version is listed under TPM Manufacturer Information.
   3. If the console shows “Compatible TPM cannot be found”, the TPM is disabled in BIOS/UEFI and must be turned on there.
3. Use Windows Security “Security processor troubleshooting”
   1. Open Settings > Update & Security > Windows Security > Device security.
   2. Select Security processor details.
   3. Select Security processor troubleshooting.
   4. Review any error message shown there:
      • “TPM is disabled and requires attention.” – Turn TPM on in BIOS/UEFI.
      • “TPM storage is not available. Please clear your TPM.” – Use the Clear TPM button on this page after backing up data.
      • “There is a problem with your TPM. Try restarting your device.” – Restart the PC and recheck.
   5. If the page offers a Clear TPM button and indicates that clearing is needed, back up important data and then select Clear TPM to reset it.
4. “Reboot” (reset) the TPM from firmware if it is locked or misbehaving If BitLocker or other features fail and logs mention dictionary attack lockout or similar, a full disable/enable cycle in firmware can help:
   1. Restart the PC and enter BIOS/UEFI setup (key varies by manufacturer).
   2. Locate the TPM settings and Disable the TPM.
   3. Save changes and boot into Windows once (tpm.msc should now show “Compatible TPM cannot be found”).
   4. Restart again, enter BIOS/UEFI, and Enable the TPM.
   5. Save changes and boot into Windows, then open tpm.msc to confirm the TPM is ready.
5. As a last resort, clear the TPM Clearing the TPM removes all keys stored in it and can cause data loss (for example, BitLocker-protected drives may require recovery keys). Only do this if other steps fail and recovery keys and backups are available.
   1. Open tpm.msc.
   2. In the Actions pane, choose the option to Clear TPM (or use the Clear TPM button from Security processor troubleshooting in Windows Security).
   3. Follow on-screen instructions and any prompts during reboot.
   4. After clearing, Windows will automatically reinitialize and take ownership of the TPM.

If problems persist after these steps, contact the device manufacturer, especially if Windows Security reports firmware incompatibility or that a firmware update is required for the TPM.
