Same here. Yeah, agreed. Also try disabling the TPM setting, saving, rebooting, and then re-enabling it—that can sometimes force it to initialize properly.

This. I had the same problem with my ASUS board. I had to go into the BIOS and enable both the TPM setting and a separate setting called "PTT" or "fTPM" to get it working.

Same here. Yeah, exactly. On mine, I also had to go back and clear the TPM from within Windows security settings after enabling it in BIOS.

Oh, and for that motherboard, did you make sure the TPM setting you enabled is specifically for the firmware TPM, not a discrete module?

You could also try updating your BIOS to the latest version, as that sometimes adds proper TPM 2.0 support for older boards.

Yeah, and after the BIOS update, double-check that the TPM setting is still enabled—sometimes it gets reset.

Agreed. Also, make sure it's set to "Discrete TPM" and not "Firmware TPM" if your motherboard has that option. Hope that helps.

Agreed. Yeah, and after you change that setting, don't forget to save and exit the BIOS—sometimes it's easy to miss that final step.

This happened to me on a similar board. I had to enable both the TPM setting and secure boot in the BIOS before it finally passed. Let me know if that works.
