Windows 10: compatible TPM Cannot be found even though its ON

So I was trying to open Valorant like last month and got a message saying "This Build Of Vanguard Requires TPM version 2.0 and Secure Boot to be Enable" so I enabled it, but it still said the error, I know this isn't Valorant support but its a problem I have to tell. So I'm on windows 11 and you know how windows 11 requires TPM 2.0 right? and I'm on windows 11 which means i have TPM 2.0 installed on my motherboard but it doesn't make any sense how I'm running windows 11 without TPM 2.0 running or compatible I've watched probably more then 20 videos on how to fix this issue on how to enable TPM

TPM update

Don't know if this is the right place for this thread but whatever, laptop informed me that " a firmware update is needed for you security processor (TPM)," now, i looked up what to do and from a microsoft support thing, the last step says to clear the tpm. it has a warning saying to back up my data, i would like to know what clearing the tpm does, and what measures i need to take to make sure nothing goes wrong.

 

Need help on whether to clear TPM on not

It's clear as mud. As far as I can tell, it's specific to Windows, not necessarily activated programs like MacAfee, games, etc etc etc. MS Office, I have no idea.

Here's a lengthy doc on it: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/wi...initialize-and-configure-ownership-of-the-tpm

Sounds like it was using the tpm to encrypt the main drive. Certainly not the norm. Also, the fact that you could not log in suggests the computer may be illegally repackaged or stolen.

Where did you buy this?
