Get rid of Windows 8 and the TPM2 crap. Your machine is no longer yours. It is spied upon and owned by Microsoft. They have FULL control over your machine. I have caught Windows 8.1 uploading my data to Microsoft. They encrypt the communications, but I was monitoring Windows and what files it was accessing and what communications it was performing over the Internet. When I blocked the ip addresses, it evaded my blocks by using a different set. All ip addresses were owned by Microsoft.
