I have a Ryzen 7 3800XT 8-core processor and 16 GB RAM. Windows 11 Pro 25H2 (OS Build) 26200.8117. Since I cannot install without TPM due to the CPU and have no confidence in updating the BIOS. The windows update asks for me to update Windows and repair it, which I feel will cause issues due to the TPM issue mentioned. What should I do?

I can't make much from the minimal information you've provided.

However, the Ryzen 7 3800XT is on the supported CPUs list.

learn.microsoft.com

Windows processor requirements Windows 11 supported AMD processors

This specification details the AMD processors that can be used with Windows 11 customer systems that include Windows products, including custom images.
learn.microsoft.com

I wonder if there's a BIOS setting to enable the firmware TPM?

(Some motherboard BIOS updates enabled it by default.)

I have an ASUS PRIME X370-PRO motherboard I bought in April 2017 with a Ryzen 7 1700X CPU. In August 2021, right before Windows 11 was released, the motherboard had a BIOS update to automatically configure the BIOS for Windows 11. This included enabling TPM.

In October 2021 I upgraded the CPU to an AMD Ryzen 3700X which is compatible with Windows 11. I had no problem upgrading to Windows 11 Pro after it came out. I didn't like Windows 11 at first so went back to Windows 10 Pro. After I bought a laptop with Windows 11 in October 2022 I learned Windows 11 well enough that I upgraded the desktop to Windows 11 Pro again. It is still that way.

Here is how TPM is enabled with my motherboard:

Thanks, guys. I finally found my AMD CPU FTPM in the BIOS under the peripherals on a Gigabyte motherboard. I enable it, but my motherboard is a AB350-Gaming 3, the BIOS version is F42a, with the last update on 07/31/2019, and the BIOS ID is 8AD6BG08. The main issue I have now is that it is so laggy for loading programs, and the advice I seem to find is that it's best to disable the fTPM. I checked that my SSD is GPT and not MBR, so I didn't need to convert. But as I said before, I'm not sure how to get the correct BIOS update to flash, unless someone can help me put it on a USB stick and flash it that way. Thanks again

- Download the BIOS file F54
- Extract the AB350Gaming3.F54 file and save to a USB Fat32 drive
- Restart the computer, press Delete during POST to enter BIOS.
- Launch Q-Flash and point to the AB350Gaming3.F54 file on the USB drive
It will update the BIOS to version F54

ChatGPT:

Why enabling fTPM can make the system feel slow​


On your Gigabyte GA-AB350-Gaming 3, the TPM you’re enabling is actually firmware TPM (fTPM) built into the CPU—not a separate chip.

The root cause (common on older AMD systems)​

This lag issue is tied to a well-known AMD problem:
  • fTPM uses the motherboard’s SPI flash memory
  • That same flash is also used by the BIOS
  • Access is slow and blocking
So when fTPM needs to:
  • generate random numbers
  • access security keys
  • validate system state
…it can briefly stall the CPU, causing:
  • app launch lag
  • stuttering
  • system pauses
This issue became widely known around Windows 11 adoption.

The official explanation​

AMD acknowledged that:
  • fTPM can cause intermittent stuttering
  • especially on older AM4 boards like B350/X370
They fixed it in newer BIOS updates by:
  • improving firmware handling
  • reducing blocking operations

Why your BIOS version matters​

You’re on:
  • F42a (2019) → very old
Later BIOS versions (like F54):
  • include updated AGESA firmware
  • improve CPU compatibility
  • fix fTPM stutter issues
👉 In other words:
Your lag is very likely because your BIOS is too old—not because TPM itself is “bad”.

Thank you so much for helping me. It was a bit nerve-wracking, but that file you sent caused no issues, and now I have a fully compliant and up-to-date PC. Thank you, thank you. I did realise that fast boot was disabled and CSM for some reason was re-enabled, so I changed it back to what I remember seeing the last time I looked at the BIOS. Also I had to enable Bitlocking on my drives...but no biggie

Click to expand...

CSM was re-enabled after the BIOS update because it is the default setting on many older motherboards.

CSM (Compatibility Support Module)
- Enabled: Both legacy BIOS and UEFI boot modes are available.
- Disabled: Only UEFI boot mode is available.

On many systems, Secure Boot cannot be enabled until CSM is disabled, so disabling CSM is recommended.

On modern motherboards, the CSM is either disabled by default or not included at all (e.g. on Z890 motherboards).
