  1. BitLocker key is not working and will not allow a reboot


    I bought a new laptop in August. I returned to the laptop a few days ago and the system is asking for a Recovery Key.I have typed in the Recovery Key several times. This is NOT working.Now, the system won't allow me to keep or remove files, or complete a system reboot.A brand new computer completely wasted because of Microsoft's system.Clearly, there is no direct mechanism for support. Microsoft expect us to write in forums for community support and receive incorrect or inefficient advice.Meanwhile, I'm losing money because I need my laptop for my private business and I am wasting valuable tim

  3. BitLocker key asking on every reboot

    HI Akram,

    Missing a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) commands can
    affect the way your BitLocker encryption works
    . To further assist you, we suggest the troubleshooting methods in this
    Microsoft TechNet
    thread
    to help you with your issue with BitLocker always asking you for a key after rebooting.

    Regards.

    BitLocker key asking on every reboot

    Hi Jefferson,

    Tnx for the reply. I had tried the same laptop with windows 10 version 1703 and 1709, in which the bitlocker encrypts the HDD perfectly fine with any issue, the problem comes when i reboot. the one with version 1703 reboots without asking for bitlocker
    key and the the one with version 1709 asks top enter the bitlocker key on every reboot.. i tried disabling and enabling the bitlocker by running this command

    <manage-bde.exe -protectors -disable C:>

    <manage-bde.exe -protectors -enable C:>

    I had also ready that in windows 10 version 1709 changes were made in bitlocker features

    Do let me know abt any updates or solutions on this.

    Regards,

    Akram
