I didn't achieve anything meaningful. I tried everything I could find on the internet.
I even took it to a repair shop - they couldn't fix it either.
I tried the last-resort method: reprogramming the BIOS chip with a hardware programmer - no success.

The solution:
I threw away a fully working PC and basically sold my kidney to buy a new PC.

Good luck to anyone still trying. If you find another solution, please share it.....

Sorry to hear that. Unfortunately I highly doubt you would get any help from any
manufacturer with this issue. Manufacturers are obligated contractually to uphold
a number of rules imposed by their partners (intel, AMD, Microsoft, Nvidia etc).
This means that if one of their partners insists that they do not want hardware older
than a certain generation to have a particular functionality then the manufacturer
must comply or risk losing licencing for their products. Chipsets from Intel/AMD,
certifications from Microsoft etc.

This is why I run linux on my perfectly functional older systems and only have
a single PC running windows. Even then, I run Windows 10 because I refuse to be
locked to the whims of Microsoft. As soon as Linux catches up with regards to
software that I use I will make the switch completely and never look at Microsoft
again. My Z97 Extreme 3 paired with an i7 4790k and a Radeon RX 590 still runs
perfectly and handles most games with ease (at least ones supported under linux).

I did see someone looking into this on Redit some time back, they were Russian
I believe, but there doesn't seem to be any progress for some years now.

Hi and welcome to the forums jawrob11, according to this article, ASRock intel 100
series boards do support TPM 2.0 and CSM depending on the CPU used. However
compatible CPUs begin with 8th gen CPUs meaning no, it isn't supported. The
board itself does but the board is not compatible with 8th gen CPUs so it can't
use it. I suspect it's because 100/200 and 300 series chipsets are almost identical
so the support is there but the CPU support is not.

Simple answer, officially, no. The 100 series boards are not properly supported under Windows 11.
I personally find this ridiculous but this comes from Intel and Microsoft not
ASRock.
This is why I personally use linux and have dropped Windows on all but one of
my systems.

This does not mean it won't work but it does mean that any workaround you use
could suddenly stop working with a windows update.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
