Initialize-Tpm : Unable to read the TCG Event Log.

Question

_{Thursday, December 29, 2016 5:26 PM | 1 vote}

I'm trying to configure my TPM device on Windows 10 64.

When I run Get-Tpm I get the following:

TpmPresent          : True
TpmReady            : False
ManufacturerId      : 1229346816
ManufacturerVersion : 5.51
ManagedAuthLevel    : Delegated
OwnerAuth           :
OwnerClearDisabled  : True
AutoProvisioning    : Enabled
LockedOut           : False
LockoutCount        : 0
LockoutMax          : 32
SelfTest            : {}

Then if I run Initialize-Tpm I get:

Initialize-Tpm : Unable to read the TCG Event Log.
At line:1 char:1

• Initialize-Tpm

    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (Microsoft.Tpm.C...alizeTpmCommand:InitializeTpmCommand) [Initialize-Tpm], TcgEventLogException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : TpmError,Microsoft.Tpm.Commands.InitializeTpmCommand

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi AlfonsoEnciso,

Is this the first time to use TPM?

First of all, please ensure you have got Windows 10 compatible driver for your TPM device.

Instead of using the powershell, please try to the UI to configure the TPM.
Initialize and Configure Ownership of the TPM (The steps should be applied to Windows 10)

Hi, 

It is the first time.  The manufacturer (Infineon) stopped providing drivers since Windows 10. "...

The Infineon Professional Package provides management functions for the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) which was unavailable in Windows 2000 and Windows XP.

Starting with Windows® Vista and extended in all ensuing versions of Windows (Windows 7, 8, 8.1) Microsoft has built in support for the TPM and extended management functions directly in Windows.

The Infineon TPM Professional Package therefore is no longer required and Infineon has stopped further development and support for this product..."

So I'm using the default Windows 10 driver. 

I have also followed the steps described on the link above but after clearing the TPM and restart, Windows never asks me to assign a password for my TPM which is weird.

Hi AlfonsoEnciso,

"The manufacturer (Infineon) stopped providing drivers since Windows 10. "..."

To make a device work well, we should get compatible drivers and the drivers are usually released by the device manufacturer website. We could do little for a driver compatibility issue.

Best regards
