Windows 11 23H2 bug causes “end of service”, “get the newer version of Windows” alerts
windowslatest.com/2024/11/13/w

"Get the newer version of Windows to stay up to date. Your version of Windows has reached the end of service."
Have you been getting that message and wondering what it's about? Have you seen the update notification dot but then there's nothing new on the "Windows Update" screen? Yeah, you and possibly millions of other people.

I think this happens if you're running Windows 11 on a PC without TPM. Some computers are more than 4-5 years old and don't have this option, and some people choose not to switch on TPM because they don't want it used against them for DRM or other malfeatures at a BIOS/UEFI level.

What is a TPM and why isn’t mine working?

Öfter mal was neues. Ist wohl doch nicht so "" das .
Besonders , wenn Geräte schon vor dem sind.

Vi hade en trevlig hackträff idag, där vi pysslade med #TrustedPlatformModule och #refind, #texlive, #PlainTextAccounting i #python med mera. De flesta av oss gick sedan vidare och hängde på @dfupdate

TPM Module Too Expensive? DIY Your Own Easily!

Since Windows 11 has announced its TPM module requirement, the prices for previously abundant and underappreciated TPM add-on boards for PC motherboards have skyrocketed. We've been getting chips and soldering them onto boards of our own design, instead - and [viktor]'s project is one more example of that. [Viktor] has checked online marketplace listings for a TPM module for his Gigabyte AORUS GAMING 3 motherboard, and found out they started at around 150EUR - which is almost as much as the motherboard itself costs. So, as any self-respecting hacker, he went the DIY way, and it went with hardly a hitch.

Following the schematic from the datasheet, he quickly made a simple KiCad layout, matching it to the pinout from his motherboard's user manual, then ordered the boards from PCBWay and SLB9665 chips from eBay. After both arrived, [viktor] assembled the boards, and found one small mistake - he designed a module for 2.54mm pin headers, but his motherboard had 2.0mm headers. He wired up a small adapter to make his assembled V1.0 boards work, and Windows 11 installed without any TPM complaints. He shows that he's designed a new, V1.1 version with an updated connector, too, and published its (untested but should work) design files for us on GitHub. These modules can vary, by manufacturer and motherboard series, but with each module published, a bunch of hackers can save money - and get a weekend project virtually guaranteed to work out.

Regardless of whether the goal of running Windows 11 is ultimately worthwhile, it has been achieved. With scalpers preying on people who just want to use their hardware with a new OS, rolling your own TPM PCB is a very attractive solution! Last time we covered a DIY TPM module for ASrock server motherboards, we had a vivid discussion in the comments, and if you're looking to create your own TPM board, you could do worse than checking them out for advice and insights!

Build a TPM Module For Your Server

One of the big stories surrounding the announcement of Windows 11 was that it would require support for TPM 2.0, or Trusted Platform Module, to run. This takes the form of an on-board cryptographic processor, which Microsoft claims will help against malware, but which perhaps more importantly for Redmond, can be used to enforce DRM. Part of the standard involves a hardware module, and [Zane] has built a couple of them for ASrock server motherboards.

The chip in question is the Infineon SLB9965, which with a bit of research was found to map more or less directly to the pins of the TPM socket on the motherboard. The interesting thing here lies in the background research it gives into TPMs, and furthermore the links to other resources dealing with the topic. The chances are that most readers needing a TPM will simply buy one, but all knowledge is useful when it comes to these things.

Our weekly security roundup has been keeping an eye on the use of TPMs for a while, and has even shown us some ways that people have used to bypass the modules.
