yes, and it didn't matter that TPM workaround doesn't work, at least it didn't for me.

After updating the bios, im unable to activate windows 11, which was already activated. You're telling me I can't update the bios without windows freaking out. I paid for this product and now the only thing the troubleshooter is telling me to do is to just buy another product key. How the hell do I go about fixing this since windows services is just an utter joke? I'm constantly having to deal with fixing **** issues with windows 11. This product is a big joke. The "get help" app does nothing but direct me to exactly what their windows activation page is on the website.
Contacting support did nothing. They told me it's not their issue. Quality service M$

2024-03-21T14:02:27+00:00 Manderson's solution worked perfectly for me.
After wasting hours with MS tech support, every single time they told me my only option was to purchase a new copy of windows.
This worked perfectly and I now have updated bios so my usb 3 ports work properly again.
