What Causes the “Reset your security processor to fix functionality issues” Error?
The list of things which cause this error is not so long and the problem is usually solved according to this list. The error message is not so self-explanatory so we recommend you double check the list below for the error:
Solution 1: Install the Update for Windows Defender
This is often just a weird way of Windows Defender notifying you that there is an update available and that you should install it as soon as possible. Windows Defender updates are released like Windows Updates and they are often installed automatically. If that has changed for any reason, you can install it manually by following the steps below:
Solution 2: Disable Virtualization in BIOS and Reset TMP Settings
CPU virtualization is a feature which allows a single processor to simulate multiple CPUs and efficiently use the CPU power. Sometimes this option can trigger problems with your system in general and plenty of users have reported that they have stopped seeing the error message at hand after disabling CPU virtualization in BIOS. Another thing you can try while still in the BIOS environment is to try and reset the TMP settings from within BIOS to see if certain settings have malfunctioned. This has also helped plenty of users online. Why don’t you try as well?
Solution 3: Clear TPM or Claim Ownership
If you don’t actually use this module, then this is the right solution for you. Clearing the TMP from the Windows Defender Security Center is probably one of the easiest ways to resolve the problem and this has actually helped people who stopped receiving the error message. Another thing you may want to try is to take ownership of TPM.
