SOLVED Toshiba's TPM update ???

[JAY B.]

Hi !

Here is the text :

   2. Double click “OSManagedAuthLevel”. Below screen appears.
   3. Change “Value data” as data noted to 5, and press “OK”.

At 2.2, what do they mean by “ clarify ” ?

Do I edit the value of the only two keys I had found ?

There was no screenshot even if they say that there was one at 2.4.1 ?????

Where do I find the TPM Owner Password and the TPM Owner Password Backup File ?

I exported the two keys I had found in a file.

Thanks for your help

Clarify: pour faire quelque chose de clair ou plus facile à comprendre en donnant plus de détails ou une explication plus simple : Note et la valeur hexadécimale OSManagedAuthLevel [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\TPM] (compte rendu). Mien est réglé pour une valeur de 2, j’espère que cette aide

Clarify: To make something clear or easier to understand by giving more details or a simpler explanation:

Note and (record) the [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\TPM] OSManagedAuthLevel hexadecimal value.

Mine is set for a value of 2 I hope this helps

Thanks Norton

I took note of the value, mine is set at 5, so does it mean that I have to modify it to 4, and then clear the TPM ?

And after I run the ,exe from Toshiba ?

Then I go in the Registry to set it at 5 like it was before or should I set it at 2 ?

Before doing something I could regret, I'll wait for your answer !

Thanks again !

Jay B. I've have never been comfortable with modifying the registry, I'm no expert and don't claim to be. I will leave you question to the many experts on the forum. Whatever yo do, I suggest that you create a registry backup and a system image before attempting any registry changes.

 

[JAY B.]

Thanks Norton

I'll follow your advice, and wait for other answers.

I suggest that you create a registry backup and a system image

It's already done !

I contacted Toshiba by email, and I'm still waiting for their answer !
That's why I came here to ask.

Hi,

I got an answer from Toshiba ..... At last !

1. I had to set the value at « 4 » for the « OSManagedAuthLevel ».
2. Run the « tpm.msc » and select « Clear TPM ».
3. Restart the computer.
4. At the BIOS warning, press F11.
5. Run the « TPM Update ».
6. Once it's done, I went back in the « Registry » to set the value at « 5 ».

That's all !

Regards JAY B.

Hi,

I know this is a pretty long time since you posted this topic, but can you please tell me what the value 5 means for that setting as opposed to 2 or 4?

I have not been able to find the answer anywhere as to what setting that registry value to 5 does.

Thanks,
Scott

The last post before yours is 2.5 years old, don't know if that user is still around.

Can I follow the same procedure to update TPM to 2.0?
From where to download the exe file?

Advise in that area will rely upon knowing the details of the computer, type, make, model name, model number, etc. Usually updates are obtained from the maker of the device. I have a Desktop with the TPM socket on the motherboard and a Notebook with TPM 1.2, haven't found either the module for the motherboard or if an update is available yet for the Notebook. For my need with timing of clients' needs I got a new 14" Notebook and Win11 Pro.
