An obvious move, considering that Microsoft keeps insisting on these TPM 2.0 security processors as a requirement, necessary for powering some of its security features.
The new OS will have a default TPM Diagnostics tool
As you probably know already, from the endless discussions that this Windows 11 requirement has sparked, a TPM chip is actually a hardware security processor. Its main purpose is to protect encryption keys, user credentials, as well as other sensitive data from malware attaccks and other forms of hacking or data extraction. Microsoft keeps insisting on this requirement and keeps stressing the paramount importance that this little piece of hardware actually has, in a new blog post. So, this brand new Windows 11 command-line tool called TPM Diagnostics will now give all administrators the ability to query the TPM chip for stored information. After installing the software, you will find a new tpmdiagnostics.exe executable located in the C:\Windows\System32 folder.
What commands can I use with this new tool?
Its important to know that, unless you totally understand what data is being stored in your TPM chip, its not recommended messing with it too much. Any mistake you make could accidentally remove the keys necessary for the operation of your device. Know that the Microsoft Trusted Platform documentation, along with the new TpmDiagnostics.exe tool can provide a plethora of information about the underlying security mechanics of Windows 11. This is the full list of commands which you can use on your new Windows 11 TPM tool:
