TPM Configuration and Troubleshooting

Apr 13, 2018  How to Check if Windows PC has a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) Chip Trusted Platform Module (TPM) technology is designed to provide hardware-based, security-related functions. A TPM chip is a secure crypto-processor that is designed to carry out cryptographic operations. Trusted platform module 1 2 free download - Trusted Platform Module 1.2, Infineon Trusted Platform Module, Infineon Trusted Platform Module, and many more programs. With the arrival of Windows 10 Anniversary Update (Windows 10 Version 1607) where TPM 2.0 (Trusted Platform Module) is mandatory, you may need to convert firmware (FW) on your discrete TPM chip from an older TPM 1.2 to a newer TPM 2.0.

The Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is a piece of hardware that provides secure storage of critical data, usually encryption keys, signatures, and the like.

There are four basic scenarios that we are likely to encounter:

  1. No TPM at all
  2. TPM turned off, which was long the default for Dell laptops
  3. TPM turned on, but using the wrong driver
  4. TPM turned on, just waiting to do work for us

BitLocker is supported on systems without a TPM, but requires Windows 8. Such a system will require a BitLocker password at startup.

Checking the TPM configuration

Start the Device Manager (under Control Panel), and look for the Security Devices heading. There, we hope to find Trusted Platform Module 1.2. That’s scenario four; the TPM is present, turned on, and even using the correct driver.

If the TPM in your system is configured as above, then you should be able to move on to the TPM Ownship section. If a Security Devices heading isn’t present, instead look under System Devices for a Broadcom TPM device. If this device is present, then we have scenario three, and we need to remove the bad driver from the system so that it can install the correct, working driver.

Figure 2: Non-working TPM configuration, with Broadcom-provided driver.

The screenshot above shows a non-working configuration. The Broadcom TPM device driver must be removed before BitLocker will work with this system.

Another possibility is that you won't find a TPM device at all. If this is the case, please refer to the instruction below for Turning on and activating the TPM.

Removing the Broadcom TPM driver

The Broadcom TPM driver is provided by Dell as part of its ControlPoint product family. This security software has not been supported by UVM IT, and mostly has been ignored by clients. Prior to removing this driver, it is advisable to uninstall any ControlPoint software on the system.

The procedure for removing the incompatible driver is as follows:

  1. In Device Manager, right-click the Broadcom TPM device and select Uninstall.
  2. Open an elevated (as administrator) PowerShell prompt
  3. Run the following command:
    pnputil –e select-string 'Broadcom' -context 2
  4. Look for the published name value, which will have the form OEMxx.inf
  5. Using that value, run the following command:
    pnputil –d OEMxx.inf
  6. Now select Scan for hardware changes from the Action menu in Device Manager

If all goes well, a new device should be detected, and Windows will install the correct driver. Double check, just to be sure.

TPM Ownership

In order for Windows to use the TPM to store BitLocker keys, Windows must control the TPM. Windows 8 system will take control of an un-owned TPM automatically, but Windows 7 requires a couple extra steps.

  1. Open the TPM Console as administrator: On the Start menu, type tpm.msc then right-click the TPM.msc icon in the search result and select Run as administrator.

  2. Select the action Take control of the TPM or Initialize TPM.
  3. Choose the option to automatically create the password.


    Figure 4: Creating a TPM password.

  4. When prompted, you don’t need to save TPM password. Just click Initialize.

  5. You may be prompted to reboot the computer. When the computer restarts, but before it begins to load Windows, you should see a prompt asking if you want to allow a change to the TPM configuration. Select Modify with the arrow keys and hit enter.

At this point, Windows owns the TPM and will be able to use it to store BitLocker information.

Turning on and activating a TPM

The second scenario mentioned at the top of this document involves a system that has a Trusted Platform Module, but that TPM is turn off in the system firmware (BIOS or UEFI). The following examples show the setup utility from my Dell e6500 laptop. Other (newer) Dell systems have similar options. As they say, you mileage may vary.

The first step is to boot the computer into the firmware setup utility. On most Dell systems, this is accomplished by hitting F2 or F12 at the initial boot screen. Navigate to the Security options, and look for the TPM Security screen.


Figure 7: In the System setup utility (BIOS), find the TPM Security screen.

Many Dell's require two steps to turn them on; I call this the Texas Two-step. You may be prompted to reboot after making each change. You can do so by clicking the Exit button. Upon reboot, you may need to hit F2 or F12 to get back into the setup utility.

  1. The TPM must first be enabled by checking the box next to TMP Security
  2. The TPM chip then must be activated by selecting the appropriate “button” option

Once the TPM has been turned on and activated, you can proceed with confirming and perhaps repairing the TPM drivers.
