  1. Windows 11 bitlocker can't be unlocked


    I have bought my laptop with FreeDOS around half a year ago. I bought a windows license and installed Windows 11 on the laptop, then transfered all my data. After the transfer it asked for the Bitlocker recovery key, so I entered it and it unlocked correctly. I have then turned off bitlocker completely, to make sure i dont lose any data. Around 1 week ago may 30 there was an obligatory windows update, so i updated and shut down the pc. Next time i tried to turn it on, it again showed the Bitlocker screen, but i couldn't unlock it. After entering the correct key, it shows the Bitlocker Recove

    :)

    Auto unlock BitLocker in Windows 11 Home

    Go to Start > Settings > System > Storage > Advanced storage settings > Disks and volumes. Click on the Properties button of a volume. Is there an auto-unlock option there?

    (edit) Wait a minute. You are on Windows 11 Home edition. I do believe there are some limited Bitlocker options available on the Home edition but auto-unlock is not one of them. I would suggest upgrading to Pro if Bitlocker is important to you.

    HELP: Automatic BitLocker Unlock.

    Thank you sir, ill try your solution.

    Windows Auto unlock ONLY works in case you have Bitlocker on your system drive, because if your system drive is not encrypted auto unlocking other drives means loss of security.
    But in my case my system drive is Encrypted with hardware encryption that i password unlock during boot. So auto unlocking Bitlocker drives will do fine for me.

    Windows 11 bitlocker can't be unlocked

    HELP: Automatic BitLocker Unlock.

    Please help,
    Looking for a way( script or maybe some unknown windows command or registry hack) to automatically unlock a non OS BitLocker encrypted drive on Log-In.

    My situation: Right now my OS SSD Samsung 840 Evo has a boot password, its not Bios option nor windows eDrive but the third one, the one you need 3rd party software to activate it, had to purchase EMBASSY Security Center to do it.
    No issues here, the OS drive is locked and encrypted.

    One of My HDD Drives is encrypted with Bitlocker, so every time my PC is booted, I need to enter windows log-in password and then open my computer and enter another password to unlock the drive.
    Whats worse is that unlike the SSD that needs unlock password only after full shutdown the Bitlocker needs it every log-in.

    Windows has an option to Automaticlly unlock all BitLocker drives on boot, BUT the issue here is that this official option only works if your OS drive is also BitLocker encrypted and then log-in password unlocks everything.

    Im looking for maybe a windows Script or some Hidden command to automatically unlock the BitLocker drive.

    Even if it Sounds insecure like having the actual password somewhere in the registry, text file or script I dont care because the OS drive is encrypted and passworded.
    Also I have a TPM chip I can encrypt any file/folder so even if file is copied from my PC when its fully unlocked the files wont be readable anywhere unless unencrypted before.

    If its important im on 8.1 pro 64bit

    P.S. If there is no solution for my problem then my only choice is when windows 10 comes out to do a clean install on another Samsung 840 Evo that was previously cleared and eDrive option enabled


    Thanks in advance.
