Resisting Gutenberg

Although I`ve tried to resist Gutenberg for months, today is the day I switch over. This post is the first I wrote in Gutenberg and possibly not the last. 

With the same resistance I had when using the Windows Vista. 7, 8 and 10 menu I tried to ignore Gutenberg because it`s different and I think it was going to impact my performance.

For others who are used to the classic editor and want a site that functions just as in the past it`s different. Not everybody is good in adapting to new software. Luckily for those people there is the Classic Editor Plugin.

Windows 1803 reports outdated TPM firmware versions, including on the TPM 2 module I had from Asus (TPM-M R2.0) (containing the Infinite 9665 chipset).
This get rid of the error/warning you have to upgrade the firmware of the TPM chip. This is quite difficult and requires some fiddling.
The security warning is defined as ADV170012 | Vulnerability in TPM could allow Security Feature Bypass

cd Firmware
TPMFactoryUpd.exe -update config-file -config TPM20_latest.cfg
pause

  • Reboot the system
  • Open the bios and enable TPM
  • Reset the TPM  key
  • Reboot
  • Start Windows
