- my123 5y agoIt does not, once the system has booted, the TPM doesn’t protect you. (For drive encryption purposes)
- Isthatablackgsd 5y agoIt doesn't. If you are familiar with Apple Secure Enclave/T2 and Google Secure Element, they are same thing. It just hold the encryption keys and validate them to the system. Bitlocker use TPM to validate the key before unlocking the volume or the entire disk to the system. What you are thinking of is the Windows Defender, it have the capabilities to prevent a thing like that.
