If I set that to “Enabled”, save, and exit, it always resets to “No Operation”. Is there something I’m missing?
I have installed the latest BIOS (3.03).
Any ideas or help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Are you on Windows 10? It doesn’t support Microsoft Pluton, which is the effective TPM for the 7040 mainboards.
It is supported out of the box on Windows 11. Some people have had issues upgrading from an existing Windows 10 instance though since it can’t find the TPM device for its upgrade installer’s validation.
Can someone explain what this configuration does? I would presume that it merely enables the TPM at the UEFI level, yet if so, why would it come disabled if it’s a requirement for Windows 11?
It’s not “come disabled”. OP was trying to install Windows 10, which couldn’t find the TPM as it’s not supported on Windows 10. You’ll be fine with Windows 11.
(This is a old thread, any reason why you’re digging this up?)
I believe it will turn the TPM back on if the state is not currently “All Hierarchies Enabled” (in the TPM State field a few lines above TPM Operation). Otherwise, it will be a no-op.
Oh, interesting. It looks like it actually controls whether TCG Physical Presence is enabled. It should have changed to offer Disable. I am not sure what this means for your machine.
Maybe this is somewhat of an indicator that the details / description in BIOS settings / options can use some fine tuning. (End user [polished] experience…less cryptic)
I bought a pre-build 11th Gen with Win 10 and updated to Win 11 with no issues. Didn’t really know about TPM so didn’t give it a thought but it’s there now with no help from me.
