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 🤞

    • I'm content with my dual charger for now, but this actually sounds quite nice - and it's less expensive than I was expecting. As for the company, they can name themselves "Nazirapist" for all I care.
    • While I miss Outlook for a couple of small things, I use Thunderbird now because I don't like how MS wants to force you to change things.
    • Chrome has history of being the browser everyone uses because Internet Explorer sucks, not realizing that Edge changed that, but people got into the habit of using Chrome. I use Brave and I've never been happier with a browser. It does what it is meant to do and gets out of the way.

    • Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft today announced a new endeavor that aims to make it simpler for Godot developers to get their products into the Xbox PC ecosystem. Dubbed the "XBOX Godot Sample," this is a new public reference for developers using the open-source engine. This is set to serve as an example of how Microsoft GDK, Xbox Services, and PlayFab can be integrated into their projects. The sample is available now on GitHub as a working example. This covers key features in gaming projects that developers may need to release their projects on Xbox PC, with everything from matchmaking and game sign-in to gamepad compatibility with Godot being covered. This release is being called the first step in giving Godot developers the tools to bring their games over to Xbox PC, with more changes to come based on feedback and issue reports. However, the company was clear that this is not related to bringing Godot projects to Xbox consoles. The engine's open development model stops it from accessing console SDKs due to the requirement of NDAs and legal contracts. Here's how it explained this Godot sample project's focus: This is a source-only sample, not a product. It's MIT-licensed at the wrapper layer; the GDK and PlayFab dependencies still require their own installs and license acceptance, consistent with our other XBOX samples. There is no set update cadence for support or maintenance. We’ll watch the repo, monitor issues, and iterate where it makes sense, but this isn't a commercial release. That said, we’re excited to hear your feedback and see any community PRs, as we evolve this together. This is the first step in bringing Godot for XBOX on PC. We plan to evolve it over time based on what the community tells us is most valuable. This sample is built specifically for XBOX on PC. It doesn’t include support for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One. If you’re already building for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One, please talk with your XBOX representative. If not, you can get started by signing up here. Game developers can find the XBOX Godot Sample by heading to GitHub over here. Documentation on how to get started with Godot for building an Xbox PC project can be seen here.
