If it shows under Device Manager than what you have is the firmware-based TPM that is there and ready to use.

TPM function is provided by the firmware if your processor is 8th gen so you just need to enable it. Look for a function called PTT in the BIOS. What's your motherboard model number?

You do not need a new MB. Your processor is 8th generation Intel and is supported, so therefore the MB you currently have will also support Secure Boot and will also have the TPM 2.0 requirement...

Just had a situation where an update was carried out to this software that initiated an immediate restart without consent, and caused me considerable disruption.

The incident has been reported ...

Rebooted a couple of times, then suddenly it started installing... Not sure why that happened.

Installed OK on two of my PCs this morning. Went to do the third one this afternoon and it immediately started downloading, reaching 100% after 2-3 minutes. Then it just sat there for nearly 40...

Seems a very common problem and I get it too. There are two solutions:

1) reboot
2) Go into task manager -> services and find "clicktorunsvc" and restart that service.

Are you not registered as a Windows Insider? Go to settings -> update and security and check what it says.

But you did set your machine up on the Release Preview ring did you not?

I've had this problem before but not on beta versions. Try a quick repair - go to programs and features, and right click on the office item and select change.

It does...

According to Microsoft it will be 20H2.

Yes I'm sure of that. See here for example -

What's new in Windows 10 version 20H2 | ZDNet

It won't - 20H2 is the new way of naming these releases. Next one is 21H1.

On my 20H2 system the .NET update (KB4576478) doesn't appear. It does on my wife's 2004 system though. Anyone know why?

Well updating from the ISO was painless - 34 minutes elapsed after which there's still 26 Gb free space. Normally after a WU install there's only about 10 Gb. Pity MS can't always issue an ISO -...

Agree. There's something wrong here. Mine spent ages downloading at 5% and then failed with 0x80070005 error. By this time free space on the SSD was down to just over 3 Gb. It's only a 60 Gb SSD but...

I was on 20H2 when I started getting problems with Office. I wondered if reverting to 2004 would fix them. In fact, reversion was quite easy - just needed to uninstall the enablement package...

Yes - simple rebooting fixes it too. As I mentioned in my previous post, just rebooting repeatedly results in the problem occurring every 4th or 5th time. I've also removed 20H2 and reverted to 2004...

Yes I've seen this article too when Googling but at present the repair tool (quick repair) fixes the problem. I've also tried the online repair, which also does a complete re-install, but the problem...

No - just mine. It was first installed in late 2016 and has worked fine till a couple of months ago.

I have Office 2016 Home and Business (click-to-run version). About 6 weeks ago I tried starting Outlook and a box came up saying "Office is updating, please wait". After a while this ended with an...

One change that nearly caught me out: having done the .NET update first it immediately came up with the "restart required" messages plus the button to "restart now". Just about to do that when I...

On mine this shows in Update History under "other updates".

Just run it and it has indeed fixed the problem, but didn't actually say what it fixed!

I've tried a reboot on both machines after running WU again and it's still there. Not a serious problem obviously but perhaps the next CU in a couple of weeks will remedy it ....
