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

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

"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.
