Requirements for Windows 11 They’ve come a long way at the feature level, starting with Microsoft, who at times seemed like they weren’t clear on it. However, the latest detected incident can be considered a wave, as some users report a persistent error in the security application that tells them their computer is not supported, despite meeting draconian system requirements.

Some users report that the Windows 11 Security app displays a “standard hardware security not met” error message because “the device does not appear to meet the requirements” according to the operating system.

There shouldn’t be any surprises at first, except that affected users report that they meet the feature-level requirements, which include the use of UEFI, TPM 2, Secure Boot and Data Execution Protection (DEP). Having motherboard firmware is something that should help, but on paper it’s not a requirement to meet Windows 11 requirements (security is another matter).

This is not the first time that this problem has been detected in Windows 11, as various users reported the same thing in June 2022. Jennifer Gentleman, a senior program manager at Microsoft, explained on that occasion that the company quickly introduced a patch in the development pipeline of the operating system to solve the problem. The bug that recently returned was apparently introduced via Tuesday’s latest patch, Windows 11 Moments 2, which is causing more than one headache.

Because of the incidents it causes Windows 11 Moments 2, the best thing you can do is avoid updating or uninstall it until Microsoft manages to nail it down for good, plus maybe the company should re-evaluate its practices before distributing updates.
