The TPM Diagnostic function arrives with Windows 11 to access all the information stored in a computer's TPM chip
Table of contents:
One of the most striking and at the same time most controversial aspects of Windows 11 is related to the requirements to be able to use it. A series of characteristics that will mean that a good part of the equipment that exists today cannot make the leap in the absence of the TMP 2.0 chip (Microsoft Trusted Platform). And related to it we now know that Windows 11 will arrive with a new feature called TPM Diagnostics"
TPM Diagnostics is a feature primarily intended to facilitate the task of those who manage multiple pieces of equipment.A tool that allows administrators to query the data stored in a device's TPM security processor.
More and better control
In a new blog post, Microsoft defends the need to use the TPM 2.0 chip and requires it as a necessary point to give the leap to Windows 11 stating that future PCs need this hardware root of trust to help protect against common and sophisticated attacks like ransomware and more sophisticated nation-state attacks. Requiring TPM 2.0 raises the bar for hardware security."
TPM 2.0 is a critical component of improving computer security by securely protecting encryption keys, user credentials, and other key data from attack.And TPM Diagnostics is a complement to the security offered by this chip
"TPM Diagnostics>an administrator can query the data and information stored on a TPM chip. The executable tpmdiagnostics.exe>"
TPM Diagnostics allows access to more information stored on this chip. Data including keys, certificates, boot counters, information about what tasks are running, TPM information, and more.
"Based on Bleeping Computer&39;s experience, the TPM Diagnostics tool can be run on computers running Windows 10 Pro from the Command Prompt tool with administrator permissions and when activated it will show a help file of the available commands."
