Windows 10: Bitlocker automatically encrypts connected iSCSI drive without asking. Interrupted after...

Just bougt a Surface Book 2. Connected it to my wifi and my iSCSI drive (D. (not a problem with any other windows laptop before)

It automatically began to encrypt my D: drive, no pop-up, no asking for administrative privilegies, nothing.

The log says:

23:00:00 BitLocker encryption was started for volume D: using XTS-AES 128 algorithm.23:00:02 A BitLocker key protector was created.

23:00:06 Failed to backup BitLocker Drive Encryption recovery information for volume D: to your Microsoft account.

23:00:06 Failed to automatically enable Device Encryption.

23:00:12 Failed to backup BitLocker Drive Encryption recovery information for volume D: to your Microsoft account.

23:00:12 Failed to automatically enable Device Encryption.

After this, I cannot open my HDD with 500 GB of data.


Windows says something like this, then i double click on the drive:

this version of windows does not support this feature of bitlocker drive encryption. to use this feature upgrade the Operating system


I use:

OS Version: 10.0.18363 N/A Build 18363.

There are no new updates in Windows Update.


I have tried all the repair-bde and manage-bde options, and they doesn't work.

Is there anything else I can try, or is all of my photos , music and documents from the last 10 years lost?


It is quiet amazing, that Microsoft makes Windows autoencrypt a NAS RAID 1 iSCSI drive without asking. Thank you for corrupting my data, with bad programming of Bitlocker.

ISCSI drive suddenly Bitlocked and won't unlock

Ok so this is a bity of a pickle.

I have a ISCSI volume that suddenly all on it's own became bitlocked and when I try access it my client machine (Windows8) says access denied. when I tried to unlock it, it said: "BitLocker is not compatible with this version of windows. Try a newer version
of Windows. "

Then I remembered I had connected to the drive with my Surface Pro 3 on windows 10 the night before, so I figured that maybe win10 got all high and mighty and had locked the drive without asking me about it?? (why would it do that? Would it?)

I disconnected the win8 machine and connected the sp3 via ISCSI and tried accessing the drive, also got "Access denied".

When I did click on the Unlock on the encrypted disk on the Surface Pro, I got the message, BitLocker is not compatible with this version of windows. Try a newer version of Windows. (Like hello, it's the latest there is?!?)

Help anyone, what is going on here? How can I get this drive unlocked.

Device Encryption, locked my ISCSI virtual drive, now it won't unlock it.

So, I connected my dell venue 11 pro, to my iscsi virtual drive that is on my home windows server. I set it up, then, windows said that it needed to restart , i don't remember what it said, but i had to go and when i came back the laptop somehow encrypted
itself and the network drive on its own . After a little while I found i could turn off the encryption by going into settings , about , then turned off device encryption. It did after some time, unlock the C: drive but it didnt unlock the iscsi virtual drive.
Whenever I connect to the drive , it says: The Bitlocker encryption on this drive isn't compatable with your version of windows. Try opening the drive using a new version of windows. When I try to right click the drive and hit unlock it says application
not found. The laptop is running windows 10 Home. Also the other computer connected to the iscsi is running windows 10 Home and the server is running windows server 2012 r2 standard. Any ideas you have would help.
