bypass Windows 11 TPM 2.0 requirement

June 29th, 2021 Kapuwa

Method: Modify Registry

This method involves simply editing Windows Registry during the installation process of the new operating system. On unsupported devices, if you try to install the new OS, a message will appear on your screen stating that the computer isn’t compatible.

At that screen, you need to press Shift+F10 to open Command Prompt window and modify the registry. In Command Prompt, you need to run regedit.exe and create a new key “LabConfig” under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup. In the “LabConfig” key, create two new entries:

  • BypassTPMCheck=dword:00000001
  • BypassSecureBootCheck=dword:00000001

Save the changes and compatibility errors will disappear.

Update | 2021 – October – 06

The fix itself is fairly straightforward too. Simply hit Win+r and type regedit to bring up the registry editor. Make your way to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\MoSetup and then right-click the main panel and create a new DWORD (32-bit) Value with a name of AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU and set its value to 1.

How to fix the Windows 10 version 2004 network connectivity bug

July 22nd, 2020 Kapuwa

Windows 10 updates tend to break things, and the most recent Window 10 version 2004 update is no exception. According to numerous forum posts, the latest irksome bug prevents Windows 10 apps from accessing the internet even when the PC is successfully connected and your web browser is working just fine.

Annoyingly, the bug seems to show up without warning or reason. If you see a yellow “No Internet Access” error triangle in the Windows 10 system tray and can’t connect to the internet in apps like Steam, Spotify or Fortnite, but can browse the web as you normally would, you’ve got the bug.

Microsoft acknowledged this bug in a support forum thread and says it stems from an issue with Windows 10’s Network Connectivity Status Indicator. The company is investigating and will patch the problem it once a solution is engineered, but some users have already found a reliable workaround that should restore network connection for your apps in the meantime.

How to fix the Windows 10 version 2004 network connectivity bug

  1. Search for “Registry Editor” using the search bar in the Windows taskbar
  2. Open Registry Editor from the search results and click “Yes” when prompted to let the app make changes.
  3. In the Registry Editor app, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NlaSvc\Parameters\Internet
  4. Right-click “EnableActiveProbing” and select Modify.
  5. Change the “Value data” from 0 to 1.
  6. Click “OK” to close the window and save your edits.
  7. Close the Registry Editor.
  8. Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

With luck, your apps will be able to connect to the internet again once you reboot your PC. If they don’t, double-check you input that registry fix properly. If you’re still out of luck, you might have to seek out a different solution or wait for Microsoft’s patch. If you happen to have encounter another fix or discovered your own

What is PortableBaseLayer Partition?

October 27th, 2019 Kapuwa

Some Windows 10 users with May 2019 update are seeing a new partition called PortableBaseLayer. If this is your first time, you might wonder what in the world is the PortableBaseLayer partition.

What is PortableBaseLayer Partition?

Before you ask me, no, PortableBaseLayer is not a virus, malware, or rouge partition.

PortableBaseLayer is a system partition created for Windows Sandbox.

When you enable the Windows Sandbox, the operating system will automatically create the PortableBaseLayer partition and places all the important files that are necessary to run the sandbox.

Depending on your usage, the partition size will be anywhere from 1GB to 10GB. Sometimes, it might even exceed that range too.

In case you don’t know, Windows Sandbox is what it sounds like. It is a built-in sandbox that lets you test programs and settings without affecting the host operating system. Compared to traditional solutions like VMware and VirtualBox, Windows Sandbox is lightweight, fast, and easy to use.

All pro and enterprise users can enable Windows Sandbox as long as the system meets the minimum requirements.

Can I Delete PortableBaseLayer Partition?

No, don’t delete the partition manually as it might corrupt the Windows Sandbox.

  2. Click on Personalization.
  3. Click on Colors.
  4. Turn off the Transparency effects toggle switch.
