Figures the board that came in the other day has some weird issue also. Don't know if it's related to 2301 bios and is natural or not from the TPM addition.
If it's booted from a cold boot it starts to boot then shuts off then actually starts up and goes into windows. Same thing happens with a reboot. It shuts down starts to boot and kills then boots into windows.
Can anyone confirm if this is related to the TPM security crap or does this board have some form of issue?
For the heck of it I jumped the cmos pins and went back through all the bios settings again just in case something was amiss but I saw nothing out of the norm in settings. So it's either more issues with 2301, it's natural with the TPM junk, or this board has some form of problem.
**UPDATE**
Used bios flash back and put the new board on 2201 and the double booting on restart and cold boot has stopped. So it's either a problem with 2301 or it's just the nature of the TPM being active and it's intended to do what was mentioned above. Currently I'm using bios flashback again with 2301 to see if it goes back to the double starting issue/intended scenario again. Will update my findings when it's done.
**2301 BIOS Flash Back UPDATE**
Sure enough it's 2301 that is causing the double booting on restart and from cold boot. It acts like if your setting a board up in the bios for the first time when upon saving and exiting it will partially boot, shut off, then boot up again. Same happens if say you change ram on a motherboard. Just for giving an example of what it's doing.
So now the question is this normal with the TPM addition and this is just part of the security junk or is there an issue with 2301 beyond the fact it doesn't support any version of Intel ME F/W past what is on the Asus support site......

damn, more problems huh?
If your only objective is to have win11 working, then this might help: https://www.pcgamer.com/microsoft-reveals-how-to-bypass-its-own-system-requirements-for-windows-11/
You could just leave it at 2201.
As for me, I got this board in Q2 2020 and my warranty should be over. Even if it was covered, I also would not want to go through an RMA process for this issue because (1) 2201 is stable and i have a working PC and (2) I can wait for win11 to come to me.
And thanks for the detailed reply in the post before your last.

Thanks. Did you have the bootloop problem with 2301 and did 2403 resolve it?
