Encryption v10.3
● In rare occurrences, when the TPM is in a cleared state in BIOS, Dell Encryption may attempt to take ownership of the TPM
and receives a null value. In this situation the Dell Encryption service may crash, resulting in an operating system crash. As a
work around, if the TPM is in a cleared state, fully disable the TPM. [DDPC-11095, DDPSUS-2565]
