New Vulnerabilities Found in TPM 2.0 Library That Could be a Potential Threat to Billions of Devices

[R-T-B]

The misunderstanding about TPM is that people think it's about protecting them.
It exists to protect the system against it's users. This could be Microsoft using it as a form of tamper protection, or it could be a corporation protecting it's laptops.
End of the day, it is not really meant to protect the user, nor will it ever be effective for that.

It can be used both ways. Yes it can theoretically store DRM keys. I'm surprised by how little this is done however.

Lots of misunderstandings in this thread, don't even know where to begin...

Maybe.

You should have just used a bypass and used 11 anyway. The requirements are just microsoft BS anyway.

From what I read that works when your installing a fresh copy of Windows 11. I wasn't, I was merely doing the upgrade. It's honestly not a big deal, it's on a system that's barely used. Just found it funny that the vulnerability post came out hours after I did it.

Hi,
MS does additional checks for compatibility for large updates to be offered as well so the bypass needs to be done again eventually and to do those bypasses you need to mount another build iso and use save files and apps.
So you wouldn't need to do this on that machine.

The tpm venerability people are more likely to be hit by a train or airplane or on a positive note more likely to hit the lottery so buy them powerball tickets now

Then you should. Back your important files and data, start fresh.

Oh, do tell.

Oh, do tell.

Inquiring minds want to know...

I went in my bios today to check some stuff, and was sitting on the TPM screen for a while wondering if I should disable again, nothing to do with this, as only just seen this post, but was wondering what actually uses TPM aside from DRM?

Oh, do tell.

Wouldn't know where to start, 1/2 posts here has misinformation. Simple as that. From blaming MS for the standard to fundamentally misunderstanding what a TPM even does, it's rapant.

Why are you giving me a hard time? I already stated why I did the upgrade route. If it was important obviously I would do a fresh install. I'm not asking for your comments so just move on.

Oh I apologize. Didn't mean for it to seem that way. I was just suggesting that's what you should do anyway. I am sorry.

Ah, gotcha.
