Getting Blue Screen on Horizon based Windows 11 VM when vTPM is enabled

Products

• VMware vCenter Server 8.0
• VMware vCenter Server

Issue/Introduction

While booting up vTPM enabled Windows 11 VM on Horizon, we may encounter Blue Screen of Death.

Recovery

Your PC/Device needs to be repaired

The application or operating system couldn't be loaded because a required file is missing or
contains errors.

File: \WINDOWS\system32\winload.efi
Error code: 0xc000000f

You'll need to use recovery tools. If you don't have any installation media (like a disc or USB
device), contact your PC administrator or PC/Device manufacturer.

Environment

VMware vCenter Server 8.x
VMware vCenter Server 7.x
Horizon View 6.7

Cause

A golden image used to create a Full or Instant Clone Windows 11 desktop pool must not have a vTPM device present, since Horizon adds a unique vTPM device to each Virtual Machine after cloning.

Resolution

The two methods we have verified to meet this requirement, in line with Microsoft's guidance , are as follows:

1.Create and use a WinPE ISO image to install Windows 11 into a VM without a vTPM device using the steps detailed in Knowledge article 312106.

2.Use the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT), which provides a fully automated process to creation of a Windows 11 without a vTPM device. Please see Tech Zone for further details. 
Alternatively, you can create a golden image with a vTPM device and install Windows 11 in the standard way, and then remove the vTPM device after shutting down the golden image and before using it to create a pool
