Can confirm. I had the same problem. I had to manually enable the TPM in my BIOS—the setting was just buried and turned off by default.

Yeah, that was exactly my issue too. Quick tip: after you enable it in BIOS, you might need to also clear your TPM in Windows Security for the checker to see it properly.

You could also try manually installing the update using the Windows 11 Installation Assistant, which sometimes bypasses the checker's hiccups.

Same here. Yeah, that's a solid workaround. Just make sure to back up anything important first, since manual installs can be a bit unpredictable.

Agreed. Yeah, that's the first thing to check. Also, if it's enabled but still not detected, try clearing your TPM from the security settings in Windows.

Did you double-check in your BIOS to make sure TPM is actually enabled? Let me know if that works.

Yeah, and if it's enabled, what's the specific TPM setting called in your BIOS? Let me know if that works.

Yeah, Also, is Secure Boot enabled and is your drive using GPT, not MBR?

And just to be sure, did you actually enable the TPM in your BIOS settings?

This. Yeah, and is Secure Boot also turned on in there?
