This time, we will introduce the cause and solution for when "Standard hardware security is not supported" is displayed in the "Device Security" tab of Windows Security after restarting after performing the solution for the "Interface not supported" error that we previously introduced in Windows 11.
specific symptoms
After re-registering the DLL to resolve the "Not supported interface" error, restart your PC.Task tray (notification area)Windows Security appears briefly and then disappears.
Causes and Solutions for the "Unsupported Interface" Error
Then, if you open Windows Security from Settings and open the Device Security tab, you will see the message "Standard hardware security is not supported," and below that an explanation will be displayed stating that the requirements for standard hardware security are not met.
*Actually meets standard hardware security requirements.
This issue has only been confirmed on Windows 11, and I have actually confirmed it on all three of my PCs.
What causes the "Standard Hardware Security Not Supported" error?
The reason why you see the message "Standard hardware security is not supported" is because the dll file "SecurityHealthProxyStub.dll" loaded when starting Windows Security is incorrect. *Version mismatch.
At startup, Windows Security loads "SecurityHealthProxyStub.dll" located in the following location:
C:\Windows\System32\SecurityHealth\Windows セキュリティサービスバージョン\SecurityHealthProxyStub.dll"Windows Security Service Version" changes depending on the Windows security update status.
In my environment, the current version is "1.0.2306.10002-0".
However, if you take the steps to resolve the "Interface not supported" error, the registry value specifying the "SecurityHealthProxyStub.dll" to be loaded will be changed to the "SecurityHealthProxyStub.dll" in a different location.
What happens then is that a different version of "SecurityHealthProxyStub.dll" is loaded, and Windows Security is unable to load the correct information.
To put it simply, in the current version, you put tools in the right-hand side of the two boxes and take them out to use, but in the old version, you put tools in the left-hand side.
The program will then work the way the current version does, so go to the box on the right to get your tools.
However, there is nothing in the box on the right, so the work stops there.
