WN11-00-000010 - Windows 11 systems must have a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) enabled.

Information

Credential Guard uses virtualization-based security to protect information that could be used in credential theft attacks if compromised. There are a number of system requirements that must be met in order for Credential Guard to be configured and enabled properly. Without a TPM enabled and ready for use, Credential Guard keys are stored in a less secure method using software.

Solution

Ensure systems have a TPM that is configured for use. (Versions 2.0 supports Credential Guard.)

The TPM must be enabled in the firmware.

Run 'tpm.msc' for configuration options in Windows.
