Windows 10: TPM 2.0 showing Code 10 in Device Manager?

Hi,

I have a MSI GS73VR 7RF laptop and recently did a fresh install of Windows 10 1903 and installed correct drivers etc however tonight I saw in Device Manager:

Trusted Platform Module 2.0 This device cannot start (Code 10).

Does anyone know what’s up with it? It wasn’t there before I did a reinstall and I went into the bios and it says “TPM not detected”

Hope someone can help Jack

Windows 10 devices now requires hardware encryption/TPM

Stolen from Sweclockers, but it's in swedish.

So from now on devices (OEM built) needs a TPM module. Relevant bit:

Pretty interesting, but there's tons of questions I guess. I don't actually now anything about how TPM works, just that it's hardware, meaning the key is stored in a physical chip and that the decryption has to run through this chip. But I have no idea how let's say biometrics is tied to this. Or what the implications will be, or what exactly is encrypted. The entire storage or just the log in details as such?

TPMs are used by bitlocker to decrypt drives. Other security software can be programmed to use the code stored in the TPM which is generated in part by the hardware in the system. Think of it as an MD5 of your physical PC. This isnt some scary tinfoil hat stuff though. Alot of consumer laptops have TPMs

Hi,

Trusted Platform Module (TPM) Management is a new feature set in Windows to administer the TPM security hardware in your computer. A TPM is a microchip designed to provide basic security-related functions, primarily involving
encryption keys. The TPM is usually installed on the motherboard of a computer or laptop, and communicates with the rest of the system using a hardware bus.



A Code 10 error is generated in Device Manager in one of the following situations:

• 
  Device Manager cannot start the device.
  
• 
  One of the drivers that the device needs does not start.
  
• 
  Device Manager has insufficient information to recognize the error that is bubbled up by the device driver.
  

Note: In this situation, the Code 10 error can be a very generic message that indicated some kind of unspecified driver or device problem.
