Windows 10 V 2004 issues with TPM and various apps
I have been trying various options for over 2 days to get a clean install of Win10-V2004 to work properly and it is getting a bit tedious.
The previous Windows Ver 1909 ran fine on the same board. In testing the latest Windows V2004, a clean install seemed at first to be fine. Until it came to Office 365 which installs but refuses to run properly with errors that seem to point to the TPM module or lack thereof.
It has been this was for years and I never had a single issue until I loaded Win10-V2004 as a clean install.
Researching the issues on the web, I can find a lot of advice on how to "fix" the problem after the fact but none of it seems to help. I am ready to just drop the whole thing and go back to V1909 (which was one of the suggestions) but I hate to not know "Why" all the fuss with the TPM on W10-V2004 and whether or not this could present problems for all future versions of Win-10 going forward.
Looking at devices I don't even show a listing for a "Security Device" in Dev Mgr. I left the bios settings on stock defaults.
I guess I never gave much thought to the possibility of a Mobo having a slot to add a TPM as most systems i have to deal with are laptops that either had one soldered in or didn't.
My question is has anyone else run across anything similar and what is the best way to handle this if I want to keep things pretty much as I had them. I dont mind going back to V1909 but not sure how long I can force things to stay there. Whatever the problem is, it causes Office 365 (especially Outlook) to fail to install or run
Thanks
