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.

    Mine randomly changes eventhough I've made no changes. Didn't run any scripts or updates. I just fix it and move on.

    I just did a cloud reset and the badge doesn't show an error, but it still says Standard hardware security not supported.

    I also installed a firmware upgrade from Dell and it went in automatically. This tells me the security is really not functioning.

    Took me a couple loud installs, an in-place install and clean install to finally have no more issue with device security. I also did a reinstall of Windows Security from a file posted on this site.
