TBS_E_PROVISIONING_INCOMPLETE

Provisioning may span several boots and trust boundaries

TBS_E_PROVISIONING_INCOMPLETE indicates that the TPM was not brought fully into the Windows-ready state. Provisioning can require creating or validating the endorsement key, establishing ownership state, storing authorization data, configuring clear restrictions, reading certificates, and completing firmware physical-presence actions across a reboot or shutdown.

The next step should be derived from the provisioning information flags. Repeating the same call without satisfying the reported transition often produces the same result and can obscure whether firmware confirmation is still pending.

Completion checklist

Call the readiness or provisioning method and decode every returned information bit.
Complete the requested reboot, full shutdown, or physical-presence confirmation.
Check whether EK certificate, OwnerAuth storage, or other provisioning artifacts are missing.
Verify BitLocker and Windows Hello recovery paths before permitting clear or ownership changes.
