- The error code 80090034 prevents users from setting up Microsoft Office and signing in due to TPM issues.
- The error appears when the corrupt system files are corrupt or a third-party program is blocking the attempt.
- To fix things, disable the firewall and VPN, change the account settings, or modify the Registry, amongst other solutions.
TPM or Trusted Platform Module, is a dedicated microcontroller to enhance the PC’s security. It’s also one of the minimum system requirements for Windows 11. But the TPM does trigger a range of issues, and error code 80090034 with Office applications is a common one.
The message reads, Something went wrong. Your computer’s Trusted Platform Module has malfunctioned. If the error persists, contact your system administrator with the error code 80090034, and Encryption failed listed next to Server message. Keep reading to find out how all about the problem!
What is error code 80090034 in Microsoft?
The Office 365 account setup TPM error 80090034 appears when users try to activate the suite and sign in. This happens due to a failure on the part of the TPM, but it is not as complex as many would imagine.
Here are a few reasons you get the TPM has malfunctioned error 80090034:
- Corrupt system files: A common reason behind such issues is corrupt system files, which affect the core functioning of Windows.
- Issues with the TPM: When you get the TPM has malfunctioned error in Microsoft Office, it could be problems with the configured settings to blame.
- Problems with Microsoft Office: In some cases, it is an issue with the Office app, and repairing it usually does the trick.
- Conflicting third-party application: For some users, it was a third-party application, generally an antivirus, that triggered the error code 80090034 – Microsoft Teams.
How do I fix the error code 80090034?
Before we move ahead, try these quick solutions first:
- Install any pending Windows updates.
- Disable the installed third-party antivirus on the PC and verify whether the error is fixed.
- For users with the feature turned off, enable TPM from the BIOS. In case it’s already turned on, re-enable it.
- Disconnect from any VPN or similar software that could modify the network properties.
If none work, move to the fixes listed next.
1. Disable the firewall
Tip
Make sure to re-enable the Windows Firewall once done with setting up Microsoft Office.
- Press Windows + S to open Search, type Windows Defender Firewall, and click on the relevant search result.
- Click on Turn Windows Defender Firewall on or off in the navigation pane.
- Select Turn off Windows Defender Firewall (not recommended) under both Private network settings and Public network settings, then click OK to save the changes.
If you are wondering how to solve error code 80090034, the primary approach should be to disable Windows Firewall or even a third-party one. Because it’s likely that the firewall is blocking the program.
2. Repair the corrupt system files
- Press Windows + R to open Run, type cmd, and hit Ctrl + Shift + Enter.
- Click Yes in the UAC prompt.
- Now, paste the following commands individually and hit Enter after each for DISM:
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
- Next, run this command for the SFC scan:
sfc /scannow
- Finally, restart the computer for the changes to come into effect.
To eliminate the possibility of corrupt system files triggering error code 80090034, it’s imperative that you run the DISM tool and SFC scan. In case any such files are found, they will be replaced with a cached copy.
You can as well scan your PC in detail using a system repair application that can efficiently scan your OS and take care of damaged files causing this Microsoft error.
⇒ Get Fortect
3. Clear the credentials
- Press Windows + S to open Search, type Credential Manager in the text field, and click on the result.
- Go to Windows Credentials.
- Now, choose the Office credential, and click on Remove.
- Click Yes in the confirmation prompt.
- Similarly, delete the other Office credentials listed here.
- Once done, restart the computer, and then check if you can set up Office apps.
In some cases, the corrupt credentials were responsible for error code 80090034 when setting up Office 365, and clearing them did the trick. Since there’s no way to identify the problematic one, we recommend clearing all and reconfiguring the credentials.
4. Change the account settings
- Press Windows + I to open Settings, select Accounts from the navigation pane, and click on Access work or school.
- Click on Disconnect if your account is linked to an organization, and confirm the change.
- You should now be able to set up Office or Teams.
- Fix: No Internet, Secured Error on Windows 11
- Fix: Keyboard Shortcuts are Not Working in Photoshop
5. Modify the registry
- Press Windows + R to open Run, type regedit in the text field, and click OK.
- Click Yes in the prompt.
- Paste the following path in the address bar and hit Enter:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Cryptography\Protect\Providers\df9d8cd0-1501-11d1-8c7a-00c04fc297eb
- Right-click on the empty part, hover the cursor over New, select DWORD (32-bit) Value, and name it ProtectionPolicy.
- Double-click on the newly created DWORD.
- Enter 1 under Value data, and click OK to save the changes.
- Finally, restart the computer for the changes to apply.
- If the problem persists, navigate the following path in the Registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\Identity
- Now, as you did earlier, create a DWORD (32-bit) Value titled EnableADAL, and set its Value data to 0.
Oftentimes, it’s a misconfiguration with the TPM that can’t be fixed via the GUI route, and that’s where modifying the Registry helps eliminate error code 80090034 in Outlook.
6. Repair Microsoft Office
- Press Windows + R to open Run, type appwiz.cpl, and hit Enter.
- Select Microsoft 365 from the list of installed apps, and click on Change.
- Choose Online Repair and click Repair to proceed.
- Again, click Repair in the confirmation prompt and wait for the process to complete.
For some users, it was a problem with Microsoft Office itself that led to error code 80090034, and repairing it got things running. Just make sure you are connected to the Internet before starting the Online Repair.
7. Create a new user profile
- Press Windows + R to open Run, type netplwiz in the text field, and click OK.
- Click on Add.
- Click Sign in without a Microsoft account.
- Now, click on Local account.
- Enter the username, and password (if required), then click on Next.
- Click Finish to create the account.
- Once done, select the new user account, and click on Properties.
- Go to the Group Membership tab, select Administrator, and click on OK.
That’s it! All that’s left is to log in with the new account, download Microsoft Office, and you should be able to set up and sign in if the previous user profile was corrupt.
Now that you have gotten rid of error code 80090034, check the best Office add-ins to enhance your experience and simplify tasks.

Столкнулся с проблемой при добавлении учётной записи Exchange online в Microsoft Outlook. При любых попытках вылетала ошибка 80090034 в конце с припиской Сообщение сервера: Ошибка шифрования.
Притом ошибка эта была только у одного пользователя. Пробовал удалять профиль Outlook и создавал его заново (помогает от многих ошибок) но не помогало. По советам из интернета изменял некоторые параметры реестра пользователя но тоже ничего. Пока не наткнулся на видео на английском языке с решением этой проблемы)
Решение оказалось довольно простым.
Итак запускаем редактор реестра Win + R -> regedit -> Ok
Учтите, что если вы делаете это от имени пользователя без Админ прав, вам нужно запустить редактор реестра от имени администратора или войти в систему пользователем с административными правами.
Идем в ветку \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Cryptography\Protect\Providers\df9d8cd0-1501-11d1-8c7a-00c04fc297eb\
И создаём там параметр DWORD (32 бита) с именем ProtectionPolicy со значением 1
После чего рекомендовано перезагрузить компьютер но у меня всё сразу заработало и без перезагрузки.
В дополнение.

Good morning,
Having an issue just recently that we haven’t seen before when setting up new PCs with Office 365 Premium apps. The error below presents itself when setting up the Outlook account for the user. Has anyone seen this as this seems to be a new issue? We have cleared the TPM chip, re-created profiles, disabled modern auth, disjoined/rejoined the domain, etc. with no luck. This client is not in a hybrid 365 setup and not using Bitlocker. Thanks for the help in advance.

Found the problem here…issue was GPO not being applied correctly over VPN due to Sonicwall firewall blocking this (Application Control Detection Alert: PROXY-ACCESS Encrypted Key Exchange). Once I disabled this all is well. Maybe this will help somebody one day.

Check the drivers for your onboard TPM. I know HPs get finicky without that security software installed.
My assumption is that you created a stock image for the new devices and omitted the TPM driver/ software as it looked more like bloatware from the manufacturer.

These are Dell PCs and they seem to have all the latest drivers. I have even downgraded the BIOS on one with no luck just for testing. I have also uninstalled the TPM device and re-installed it with no luck.

Hi Chris,
I found this on a MS forum about your unusual issue Outlook activation error Opens a new window and it mentioned that they resolved the issue by modifying the registry to disable modern authentication.
HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\Identity\
REG_DWORD
EnableADAL

I deleted the appdata folder. Nope.

I disabled IPv6. Nope.
I changed the DNS servers. Nope.
2 users on the PC — one is fine, the new one is fine EXCEPT I cannot launch and configure Outlook.
Updated the firmware. Nope.
Cannot even add new mail account in a second Outlook profile — cannot find server.
WTF!!

I added this to the registry of a user whose machine was giving the same error even after updating the BIOS and clearing TPM
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Cryptography\Protect\Providers\df9d8cd0-1501-11d1-8c7a-00c04fc297eb
Change the value of “ProtectionPolicy” to “1″
if ProtectionPolicy dosen’t exist, Add DWORD (32bit) Value and then change the value to 1

Has same issue, but it was solved by login on with the VPN connection.
I was installing these HP computers from remote and first logged on with VPN into the user account but later on logged on without the VPN returning me this error when trying to setup the Outlook account.
So I logged off and logged on again but this time with the VPN option.

Erwin Craps Thank you! HP computer account set up on VPN, disconnected VPN, and received this error in Office activation. Chrome also refused to save profile cookies and paused syncing whenever closed.
Can someone provide me an explanation for this? HP TPM chip has the WAN IP remembered, or can only authenticate over VPN now?

I can confirm that VPN was my issue as well however it makes no sense. Bitlocker was running fine, lenovo laptop with TPM2.0 win10 1903 fully updated, all drivers fully updated, BIOS at default recommended settings — all fresh install.
Installed office 365, fully updated
tried clearing my TPM chip keys (make sure you have your recovery key if you’re trying this) — no luck
received this error until I connected to VPN and then the error just went away.
** i was remote on/off VPN while doing some of this work on the laptop. I did image the laptop on site and installed office on site but figured I’d do the *easy* stuff like setup office while on my home network.
Would be nice to know the cause of this for those who may not intend to require a VPN all the time.

Sharing my experience with this issue:
My issue with this was finally resolved after connecting to our VPN AND running gpupdate /force which in our case, turns off Windows Firewall on the domain.
When I was only connected to VPN, I was still getting the TPM error. Once I confirmed Firewall was off on domain, I was able to register the user machine.
FWIW: This only began happening after updating our laptop images and using the latest version of the Microsoft Office Deployment Toolkit.
Version: 16.0.12827.20268

I’ve done more laptops successfully using the same image and did not have this issue. In our experience it seems to be related to when we were connected to vpn during the initial Configuration which then crept up during a mailbox setup.

Erwin Craps, as soon as I connected back to the user’s VPN I was able to authenticate and successfully activate the user’s Office software. Thank you!
I’m no expert but my theory is that when installing the Office software over VPN the TPM module registers an entry that is unique to that VPN session so that later when you go try and activate Office and have disconnected from the user’s VPN session, maybe due to a restart after the Office installation, the activation fails cause of mismatching TPM entries..?. Seems like a Windows 10/Office bug maybe?

Maybe this was mentioned before, and forgive me for the simplicity of the answer, but have you tried turning it off, unplugging for 30 seconds and replugging in? I have seen this issue a few times and when it comes up for me, it basically shows no TPM in the bios or the device manager. This always seems to follow the installation of O365 so far.
Hope this helps. I just would love to know why this works…

ProtectionPolicy = 1 enables local back up of «MasterKey» instead of requiring backup to a Domain Controller. (Link from MS Opens a new window)
Seems like an admin account is needed to get this MasterKey thing. Local admin privileges might be easier to get than domain admin privileges, so this ProtectionPolicy = 1 registry setting may slightly open up a security vulnerability.
Apologies for the second link being with a source that doesn’t have too much credibility. Just thought I’d throw in another thing to consider after looking into ProtectionPolicy.

This fixed the error for myself as well:
The ProtectionPolicy value must be a DWORD.
Workaround
To work around this problem, set the value of the ProtectionPolicy registry
entry to 1 to
enable local backup of the MasterKey instead of requiring a RWDC in the following registry subkey:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Cryptography\Protect\Providers\df9d8cd0-1501-11d1-8c7a-00c04fc297eb

Case 1: The client’s domain name is compnayname.mydomain,com and email address is username@mydomain.com. When he setup a new laptop, the laptop takes username@compnayname.mydomain.com as email address. To fix this problem, go to Settings>Account>Access work or school to delete username@compnayname.mydomain.com. Re-assign in using username@mydomain.com.
Case 2: Try this method:
Go to the registry editor (Win+R; regedit)
go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> Microsoft ->Office -> 16.0 ->Common -> Identity
Inside “Identity”, create a new REG_DWORD value called “EnableADAL” and leave the value at 0
Restart the PC and try again to login from Office 365. In my case, the logon screen was now different and it worked perfectly.
