The Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is a chip in your computer that stores security information, like encryption keys. Clearing the TPM will erase this information, but it won't delete your files or data on the computer. It's more about security keys and access to encrypted data. You can choose to accept or reject this change.

Answer 4

How was the configuration change requested? And if the TPM is cleared, will it put the computer at risk of viruses?

Answer 5

The configuration change to clear the TPM was requested for the computer. Clearing the TPM erases security information stored on it, like encryption keys, but it won't delete your files or put your computer at risk of viruses. It's more about security keys and encrypted data, rather than overall computer security.
