Windows 11 Introduces Troubleshooting Tool for Controversial TPM 2.0 Requirement

Microsoft defends the TPM 2.0 requirement, emphasizing the importance of strengthening security measures to protect users from potential exploitation by hackers.

The introduction of the TPM troubleshooter offers a practical solution for addressing TPM-related issues. Users encountering errors like “Can’t get TPM information. Contact your device manufacturer” can now utilize the Windows troubleshooter to delve deeper into the problem and potentially find a resolution. While the reliability of Microsoft’s troubleshooters can vary, having this additional support can prove beneficial. Furthermore, the troubleshooter includes an option to reset the TPM back to default settings.

The availability of the TPM troubleshooter in the Canary channel indicates a limited rollout, with only a subset of testers currently accessing the feature. Microsoft typically releases new features to a small group of testers initially to identify any major issues and gather early feedback.
