directly, leaving the TPM PCRs in expected states so that Windows can unseal the encryption

key. This allows systemd-boot to be updated without having to provide the recovery key for

BitLocker drive unlocking.</para>

<literal>Configure TPM platform validation profile for native UEFI firmware configurations</literal>

When secure boot is enabled, changing this to PCRs <literal>0,2,7,11</literal> should be safe.

|
The TPM key protector needs to be removed and then added back for the PCRs on an already

|
encrypted drive to change. If PCR 4 is not measured, this setting can be disabled to speed

up booting into Windows.</para></listitem>
