Hi Daniolle,
The Event ID 1796 TPM-WMI error in the Event Viewer is often related to issues with Secure Boot updates. This error typically occurs when the Secure Boot update fails to update a Secure Boot variable, which might be due to Secure Boot being disabled or other system-related glitches.
Here are some potential solutions to address this error:
- Check Secure Boot Status: Ensure Secure Boot is enabled in your system's BIOS settings. If it's disabled, enable it and restart your system.
- Disable and Re-enable Secure Boot: Temporarily disable Secure Boot, restart your system, and then re-enable it. This can sometimes resolve the issue.
- Uninstall Recent Updates: If the error started after a recent Windows update, consider uninstalling the update to see if it resolves the problem.
- Reinstall Problematic Applications: If the error occurs while using a specific program, uninstall and reinstall the application.
- Reset or Update BIOS: Resetting or updating your BIOS might help if the issue persists.
