I enabled firmware protection via Group Policy editor, but when I went to windows security the firmware protection button was off and grayed out with a message "This setting is managed by your administrator."

I want the fix and turn on Firmware protection

    The issues I found

    The Event Viewer says: System Guard enabled but not supported. Reason: The required platform module was not found.
    But I have the latest fTPM 2.0 module on my AMD Ryzen 5950X

    Also in services you can't run System Guard Runtime Monitor Broker.

    Please tell where did you found the system guard event in event viewer pls

    I found the issue. Only dTPM 2.0 is supported.
    The determined way: Your MB has an integrated dTPM 2.0 that you can use.
    For AMD Users: You need to buy a TPM SPI 2.0 Module, plug it in the SPI_TPM Port and switch it in the BIOS to SPI TPM.
    For Intel Users: You can luckily enable Intel PTT 2.0 and Intel TXT and it should work.

    For branded PC/Laptop: Look if it has a Microsoft Pluton processor.
