WIndows 11 - Standard hardware security not supported

Anonymous

I am running Windows 11 Pro Version 10.0.22621 Build 22621 and for some reason Device Security is saying Standard hardware security not supported.

I have the following settings:

Secure Boot State - On

BIOS Mode - UEFI

tpm.msc - The TPM is ready for use.

DEP - On for all applications.

I also have SVM turned on and Windows Subsystem successfully running Ubuntu 20.04.

What am I doing wrong? Also I can't dismiss the Windows Security - Actions recommended for Device security.

    Its a microsoft file that comes in updates, an error in the first place meant the wrong security file was uploaded in the windows update meaning the only way to remove the not supported hardware error is to download this file an execute a re-install of system security to the correct version

    IDK. I had no option but to take ownership of it by selecting Administrators. I know how to do that, so it was no issue for me, but others have asked how.

    Reinstalling Windows Security Platform with the new update. Download from this link the folder that contains the application:

    https://app.box.com/s/8br9g6arlce8pgxx5hmh6t1jcv4zj2s0

    Now follow these steps:

    1. Create a restore point first
    2. Unzip the downloaded ZIP file on the Desktop
    3. Navigate to the location C:\Windows\System32\SecurityHealth to take ownership of that folder:

    Properties > Security > Advanced Options > Change > Administrators

    Check the "Replace owner on subcontainers and objects" box and click Apply.

    In the "SecurityHealth Permissions" window select Administrators > Full Control. Apply.

    1. Copy the "1.0.2207.20002-0" folder on the Desktop to the SecurityHealth folder
    2. Open the folder and run the application "Microsoft.SecHealthUI_8wekyb3d8bbwe.appx" as administrator to update.
    3. Restart the computer.

    So Microsoft is guaranteeing the validity of this file? Or are we just putting the security of our machines in the hands of the Russian's?

    Why would you need to take ownership of it? If your downloading it from microsoft theres no need to take ownership of it thats just confusing people

    Yep! That's the file; however, some don't know how to take ownership of it to proceed.
