TPM 2.0 Guide

Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0 is a security feature required for certain system-level protections and is used by modern games and applications to verify hardware integrity. Most PCs already include TPM 2.0, but it may be disabled by default depending on your motherboard or BIOS settings. This guide will help you check whether TPM 2.0 is enabled, and provide resources on how to turn it on if you need to.

Before you get started, remember that BIOS and UEFI menus vary across manufacturers. Changing firmware settings incorrectly can cause system issues, so always follow the official instructions from your PC or motherboard manufacturer. Riot is not responsible for any issues that may occur when modifying BIOS or UEFI settings.

Check Trusted Platform Module (TPM) Status

  1. Press Windows Key + R.

  2. Type tpm.msc and press Enter.

  3. Look at the status. If it's enabled/ready for use, you're good to go! If it's disabled, follow these steps:

Enable TPM

  1. Press Windows Key + R.
  2. Type msinfo32 and press Enter. Identify your motherboard brand and CPU. 

  3. Find videos for steps on "How to enable TPM on (insert motherboard name) with (insert CPU name)" or visit the manufacturer's website for your motherboard and follow their instructions.

    Microsoft also has a general page on how to enable TPM 2.0: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/enable-tpm-2-0-on-your-pc-1fd5a332-360d-4f46-a1e7-ae6b0c90645c#bkmk_enable_tpm

Unable to load the management console

The TPM management console may fail to load if TPM is turned off or if your motherboard has a known firmware issue. The steps below will help you confirm your TPM status and update your BIOS when necessary.

  • Go to Windows Defender and click Device Security > Security processor details for TPM status. If nothing shows up, your TPM may still be turned off.
  • If your console management still won't load, it is a bug on your CPU/Motherboard brand. To resolve:
    • Identify your motherboard brand and exact board name via msinfo32.
    • Search for the latest BIOS update for your motherboard.
    • Visit the manufacturer's website for your motherboard and follow their instructions for updating the BIOS.
