As you well know, upgrading Windows OS is a high-risk sport. It is always recommended to wait a bit before updating, to find out what errors exist and that they are fixed. It will be no less in the next big update, since, despite the planned bug fixes, new ones will arrive.
For example, last year the 22H2 update had to be stopped due to operational issues. The update caused performance hits in games, despite the fact that it came the opposite. Something that forced Microsoft to stop rolling out said update.
Fix problems in Windows 11, more easily
It was deployed by Microsoft on Windows 11 Insider build 25905. This brings exciting news and is only available on the Canary channel. Use the new Windows Update feature to download the new version without removing any files, settings or apps.
The first major novelty would be an additional mode for repair Windows without a clean install. This option is really interesting, although it is not clear how it works.
They found, on the other hand, that troubleshoot TPM issues after update. Many users have problems with this mandatory security module. Allows you to restore the default settings.
What this new function does is detect possible errors and give us solutions. It would be something similar to troubleshooting internet connection issues. Is in :

Security module or insecurity?
Windows 11, among the mandatory requirements, is the Trusted Module Platform (TPM). This element is a small chip that tries to verify the signature of the software and tries to avoid infecting the system.
Its inclusion has been controversial and chaotic. For the first few days, it was impossible to know which motherboards incorporated it and how. Finally, we already know which motherboards integrate it, that is to say practically all those released in recent years.
Note that TPM has several versions, among the most used is the physical one via chip or via firmware. It still performs the same functions, although the one considered the most secure is via a dedicated chip and not via software.
This article has caused quite a bit of trouble so far. Many users who have this feature have seen watermarks on their systems indicating that they do not have it. Although you can’t install Windows 11 without a TPM, there really are ways around it. These methods can be dangerous, especially if they require third-party software that we do not know how to work.
