TPM_E_PPI_USER_ABORT

TPM_E_PPI_USER_ABORT means a TPM physical-presence operation was presented to the user during boot or firmware setup and was not confirmed.

What to check

  • Treat the operation as not completed; check the requested PPI action and whether it still needs to be performed.
  • Explain the security impact before asking a user to confirm a TPM clear, ownership, or configuration change.
  • If the request was unexpected, find the application, policy, or administrator action that scheduled it rather than simply resubmitting it.

Important: Clearing a TPM removes keys stored in it and can require recovery for features such as BitLocker. Confirm recovery material before scheduling a clear operation.
