TCG2 Configuration not appear on Win 11 guest (VirtualBox 7.0.9r157775)

6 days is nothing. 6 weeks or 6 months would be more reasonable.

Without a support contract there is no way the devs can be expected to prioritize your issue. That only ever happens when the person reporting the issue also reports a trivial fix.

Oh I see, so no point in reporting a bug or opening a ticket unless you already have the solution. Disappointing, but it's opensource software and I've been using VIrtualBox for a long time, so I'm thankful of what I get for free and I think the support on a Linux host is far superior than other commercial alternatives.

That's not quite what Mpack said. Opening a bug ticket and getting a faster response usually requires a fix with the bug ticket. So the devs have something to investigate.

However, opening a bug ticket even without a solution is necessary to let the devs know there is a problem. But without a repeatable way to produce the bug, or a possible fix, it will take more time to track down and troubleshoot the bug given the resources available.

An example: suppose you wanted to figure out who murdered JFK? And you were starting from scratch, without any knowledge of any evidence, no Oliver Stone movies, no Grassy Knoll, no multiple shots theories, you never heard of Lee Harvey Oswald or Jack Ruby, you have nothing except a murdered President. You'll have a lot of work to do requiring much time to piece everything together. If you have all the complied evidence given to you, though, you might be able to come up with a plausible theory of the crime very quickly.

The more the devs have to work with at the beginning, the faster they can be.

Rest assured, the devs will find disappearing TPMs of interest for running Windows 11 VMs.

Hi experts.

Today in my problematic Win 11 VM on MacOS Ventura (as of today in version 13.5) and with Virtual Box in version Version 7.0.10 r158379 I have decided to deactivate the BitLocker that I had activated both in drive C: and E: to see if, for Good luck, the problems could have disappeared, but they have not.

I am able to continue using the guest OS, but I still experience the same issues: the option TCG2 in UEFI to enable/disable TPM and the problem in the TPM driver that I discussed earlier still appear.

In the link provided by fth0 https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/21741 it mentions a very similar problem but I don't see anyone taking care of it and I consider this problem serious and worth investigating.

Do you have any new news about this? can some developer take a look over it, even a little bit?

Thanks in advance.

Hi again.

I have been able to find a solution to be able to see the TCG2 section in UEFI again. See in the ticket 21741, the comment that I recently edited.

Very hard to say much intelligent from a few screenshots (no matter how many words are used to describe the issue beyond that). VBox.log would be desperately needed because it'd provide a lot of details.
