False error on Local Security Authority Protection [Windows 11]


Recommended Posts

My Windows 11 Security states that there are errors on my Local Security Authority Protection.

The info that is given is that no TPM it there. Yet, there is.

I also got this message on other (Intel) computer, and after checking and double-checking I decided to Dismiss this error.

Is this a (known) bug on Windows 11, 22H2 with all latest updates installed?

Yup, it's a known bug and there have been several Neowin articles about it. I thought that a fix had been released but it may be limited to release preview or beta builds for the moment.

Fairly sure it's unfixed in Beta.

they did release a fix, but that fix recently broke again from what I heard :D

Yes, it's back, returned to both of my (officially supported) W11 machines yesterday, but not the unofficially supported one. So I'm not sure what's going on there...

I guess it's the Microsoft way of "fixing".

1. It works
2. Let's break it with an update
3. Let's fix it
4. Let's break it again
5. Let's fix it with another update

(repeat steps 4 & 5 indefinitely) 

I think the OP is experiencing two different bugs here. The article that is posted here in Neowin relates to the error with the Local Security Authority Protection bein off. ( I even experienced that myself, but it was fixed in one of my PCs, yet not in the other). Yet the OP is seeing an error related to no TPM module detected as well.

OP might want to refresh his Windows TPM settings.  Here's how.

Additionally you might want to make sure Secure Boot is enabled on your BIOS / UEFI.

Because I have Linux also installed in dual boot and have disabled Secure Boot at times, I have then experienced that TPM error on Windows 11.

TPM is on.

It's the message in Windows Security that tells me it's off [not true]. And the bug came back.

I'm seeing the same exact screens, preceded by:

Yes, MS doing what they do best. They break something, fix it, and then break it again later.

 

But with MS being a small indie developer, its to be expected. /s

See frontpage news:   Microsoft admits it couldn't really fix Windows 11 Security and Defender LSA issues :D

And my question: Is disabling kernel mode better than just click “ Dismiss” and not be bothered by this message?
For security-sake I mean...

The issue for some people appears to be that it's causing a BSOD rather than just an annoying message so disabling Kernal mose is a sensible setp. Personally I use my machine primarily for gaming and most of the virtualisation based security (kernel mode isolation, memory integrity etc) causes a loss of performance for what at best is a negligable gain in security on a system not containing sensitive information so I've disabled all such features. On my work machine/networks I administer they're all turned on!

Even with the Moment 3 update and all, it's still not fixed.

Wake up Microsoft!? Or does this have more impact than expected on how Windows and its security management/Windows Security behaves in W11?
Or maybe with next week's Patch Tuesday it'll be fixed?

Maybe they really do fix things based on throwing darts while wearing a blindfold???😵

It looks like it's solved. I think from server-side, because I haven't installed the Patch Tuesday updates not yet [doing it now].

It would have come in as a Defender update, not a patch Tuesday update.

OK. Anyways, seems like it's solved. For now 🤞

    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
