This. You could also check if your motherboard supports TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot, as those are also required. Let me know if that works.

My monitor is set to sleep after a period of inactivity, but it never stays off?

My monitor is set to sleep after a period of inactivity, but it never stays off. The screen will go black for just a second or two, and then it immediately wakes back up on its own. This happens even when I haven't touched the mouse or keyboard. What could be sending a signal that interrupts the ...

+1 I had the same problem. After enabling TPM, I still had to clear the TPM in Windows security before the check finally passed.

That's a frustrating situation, especially when you rely on those special characters! The good news is Windows 11 has a built-in feature that can solve this without any software. You can use **Microsoft PowerToys**, a free, official Microsoft utility suite that includes a fantastic "Keyboard Manager ...

First, double-check that fTPM is *fully* enabled. On many Z170 boards, enabling it is a two-step process:
1. Go into BIOS (usually DEL or F2 on boot ...
