Same here. Yeah, that's the exact headache I had. One more thing: after clearing the TPM, you might need to reboot and re-enable it in the BIOS one last time. Good luck!

This. Also, just to double-check, is your motherboard's firmware fully updated? Sometimes that's the missing piece.

Can confirm. Yeah, and after you update the BIOS, did you also make sure to clear the TPM in its settings?

You could also try using the Windows 11 Installation Assistant directly from Microsoft's website, as it sometimes bypasses the checker's hiccups.

Agreed. I had the same problem. I ended up using the Media Creation Tool to make a USB installer and it just worked.

Can confirm. Wait, did you also enable fTPM specifically in the BIOS, not just a generic TPM setting?

Agreed. Yeah, that's the key. Also double-check that your BIOS is fully updated, as older versions sometimes don't expose the setting correctly.

Oh, and is your TPM module set to "Enabled" and not just "Firmware TPM"? Good luck!

Can confirm. Yeah, and double-check that your BIOS is actually saving those changes before you exit—sometimes it silently resets.

Also, is your TPM module itself maybe disabled in Windows? You can check in the TPM Management console.
