    Close to the general availability (GA) of Windows 11, Oracle started working on TPM (Trusted Platform Module) passthrough for Windows 11 support. And almost a year later, the hypervisor gained support for Windows 11 hosts. TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot support soon arrived after this, though as recently as July of 2023, TPM-related bugs like crashes have been addressed.

     

    The latest maintenance release today also has fixes related to TPM saved states. Aside from that, a black screen issue has also been fixed. There are other fixes in the release as well. The full changelog is given below:
