Unable to run UEFI while in Start-up Menu

[shylo1]

No errors.  Normal Start up Menu.  Except when selecting "run uefi application" the application does not run.

No window to find TPM.

I don't have a UEFI PC, so I don't understand what you're trying to do.  Please explain.

If this about Windows 11, you need to know EVERYTHING that your system lacks for Windows 11, not just TPM or what the MS tool tells you.

Here is a link to a third-party tool that will check all the currently known requirements for Windows 11 and tell you what fails on your PC: https://github.com/rcmaehl/WhyNotWin11/releases

Do NOT try to download this using MS Edge as it flags it as malware -- which it is NOT -- use a different Browser instead.

NOTE: If your PC fails one or more of these checks such that you can not easily fix that, there is no need to PANIC!! Windows 10 is going to be around, and continue to be supported, for four more years. This is not something you have to spend lots of money to fix right now!

@WAWood -- Do NOT try to download this using MS Edge as it flags it as malware -- which it is NOT -- use a different Browser instead.

Thanks for the report, but do not totally agree with your wording.

I copied the URL of the download of the "EXE' file, and submitted it to www.VirusTotal.com 

None of the many(!) anti-virus products detected it as being "malware".

What I think that you are seeing  is the Windows Smartscreen Defender (within Microsoft Edge) preventing the download of _any_ "EXE" file, to protect the user, not an alert from the Windows Defender anti-virus software.
