I had the same problem. Clearing the TPM in Windows Security was the final step that actually made it work for me.

This. You could also try updating your motherboard BIOS to the latest version, as that often enables proper TPM support.

Agreed. And after you update the BIOS, you might need to go back in and re-enable the TPM setting again. Good luck!

Yeah, and if you're still stuck, try clearing the TPM from within Windows security settings before running the check again.

Same here. You could also check if you need a BIOS update from your motherboard's support site, as that sometimes enables full TPM support.
