How to fix "There is no TPM available. Please check BIOS settings" error in Windows?

Hello. Recently I started receiving the "There is no TPM available. Please check BIOS settings" error from Windows Security. How do I fix this?

Some people that use the Windows operating system, encounter the "There is no TPM available. Please check BIOS settings" error. A TPM (Trusted Platform Module) is used to improve the security of your PC.  It's used by services like BitLocker drive encryption, Windows Hello, and others, to securely create and store cryptographic keys.

TPM also confirms that the operating system and firmware on your device are what they're supposed to be, and haven't been tampered with. If users receive this error, their system might be vulnerable. This issue should be fixed as soon as possible. In this guide, you will find 4 steps that should help you fix it.

Most of the time, the "There is no TPM available. Please check BIOS settings" error in Windows appears because TPM is disabled in the BIOS settings. It is also possible that the BIOS is missing updates. Keep in mind that manual troubleshooting might be a lengthy process.
