Clear TPM on Windows | 169

 The Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is a hardware component that provides secure storage of critical data, such as encryption keys, passwords, and digital certificates.

 It is typically found on motherboard of modern computers and servers, and it is designed to provide a secure environment for storing and managing these types of sensitive data.

The TPM uses cryptographic keys and algorithms to secure the data it stores, and it can be used for a variety of security-related tasks, such as enabling hardware-based authentication, protecting against unauthorized access, and verifying the integrity of software and hardware components.

In addition to its security-related functions, the TPM can also be used to store data such as system logs and diagnostic information. 

This can be useful for tracking system performance and identifying problems with hardware or software.
