"This PC meets Windows 11 requirements" but also "This PC doesn't currently meet the requirements" What gives?

My PC seems to be confused:

Initially it told me I needed to enable TPM (PTT on my Asus board) in order to be W11 compatible so I've done that and now it seems that Microsoft isn't isn't quite sure whether or not my PC is compatible or not?

Have you ran a check for updates since changing the TPM ?

That's a feature, not a bug.

I did yes, it's showing as all up to date other than 3x optional driver updates so it's not allowing me the option to install W11.

I'll take another look but when I went to the webpage it just sent me back to the 'lets see if your pc is compatible" or whatever page and the whole PC health check thing.

No worries , you can try the install assistant or use the media creator both should work

if you use rufus to create installation usb
at the end of it you get options
they let you bypass windows requirement checking
it can also fetch the windows iso for you if you want it to

Is this a case of wanting to know why Windows Update and PC Health Check results don't match or that it's preventing the OP from upgrading? Because if it's the latter you should be able to bypass the upgrade checks with a reg edit.

I disable FTM just so windows won't **** with my PC's. Both my primary and backup rig work perfectly.

It's working so I don't want to "fix" it.

Pretty sure PC Health Check and Windows Update do their own separate tests without telling each other the results. PC Health Check I found is usually more accurate as you can test it on demand. When I upgraded my CPU the initial BIOS was bugged with fTPM, upgrading to beta fixed it and both PC Health and HWiNFO64 confirmed it was back on but Windows Update took a couple of days for it to detect I was W11 compatible again.
