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.

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???😵

okay so MS says it is fixed now https://www.neowin.net/news/microsoft-finally-manages-to-fix-windows-11-defender-local-security-authority-protection-off/

@kiddingguywhat do you think?

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.

      The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?

      Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with ad blockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Samsung Browser'. It has very little bloat and is a nice-looking web browser with an inbuilt 'Ad blocker'. I also really like the web browser called 'Floorp' that is based on Firefox. This browser can also install Chrome extensions. I have a system wide Ad blocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the web browser, but over the whole system. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt ad blocker because of that.
