About this tag
The secure boot tpm tag follows Windows security discussions involving hardware-backed trust, attestation, and protected kernel environments. Current coverage focuses on Windows 11 25H2 and Riot Vanguard’s planned on-demand mode, which allows the anti-cheat service to run only while supported games are being played when a PC passes new hardware-backed security checks.

This archive is useful for tracking how platform security checks influence gaming software and Windows system protection.
