One of Microsoft‘s priorities after the launch of its new Windows 11 was to increase the security of its millions of users. As you can imagine, this gives us many advantages, but unfortunately it is not always the case, as we will see.
And it is that everything related to compatibility failures in the Redmond operating system is a constant, on one side, or another. We tell you all this because right now the security function to run Windows 11 is causing performance problems in the operating system itself. Probably many of you will remember that in Windows 11 Microsoft not only denied its use to many modern processors, but also limited the operating system to hardware with TPM 2.0. Also known as Trusted Platform Module version 2 , this security feature has caused many headaches.
In fact, these controversial processor requirements for running Windows 11 have greatly limited its installation. All in all, TPM 2.0 is not a big problem for most users. As a rule, most modern devices have this security feature built in. It must be said that on AMD-based computers , the TPM is also known as fTPM .
This is a security module implemented in the system firmware instead of a dedicated chip. Thus fTPM can be easily enabled on AMD CPUs. The issue now is because in some configurations enabling this feature causes performance issues. We must bear in mind that the integration of the TPM is common today and many Intel computers use it.
AMD computers have failures in Windows 11 due to fTPM
But as we mentioned, there are some problems in the case of using AMD . These failures that we are talking about are usually seen in the audio and some lag with multimedia content. This issue seems to be caused by compatibility bugs between AMD’s fTPM and Windows itself . From what some users who have shared their analyzes have revealed, activating the fTPM could reduce the performance of the device. This would result in some lag when we are playing both video games on Windows.
This has been reported by users who have current computers based on AMD processors using fTPM. Randomly and for no apparent reason they encounter crashes and lags when running their games . As a curiosity, we will tell you that these errors occur more frequently when the title plays music.
Of course, we must take into consideration that this error does not affect all PCs . With everything and with it, it seems that it becomes more common in those computers that go from Windows 10 to Windows 11.
Solve the lag caused in the system
Obviously this does not make your computer unusable, since errors only happen for a few seconds and under certain circumstances. But despite all this, especially if we are playing, it can become a real annoyance. To solve these errors, the recommendation is to uninstall Windows 11, go back to Windows 10 and disable fTPM in order to eliminate the mentioned lag when playing.
Although you can also disable the festa feature in Windows 11, this can have negative effects when running certain titles. Therefore, as we say, if this bug is a major annoyance, for the moment it is best to go back to Windows 10.
