Windows 10: BitLocker for all versions of windows operating system

This is Richard , working as an IT Engr. I have some few questions regarding Bit locker that doesn't require password to all of our laptops in any version of Windows Operating System since our user are the associates within our company.

What I need is, the password should be prompted only when the hard drive was pulled out and installed to other machine.

Do you have any idea what's the best software application that could perfectly fit in this kind of instance.

Thank you in advance.

BitLocker on Windows 10

Hi,

Thank you for the response and keeping the status updated.

This could be due to some corruption in the system files, please check the methods below and see if it helps:

Method 1:

I suggest you to start the BitLocker Device Encryption service.

Follow the below steps:

• Press Windows key + R from the Keyboard.
• Type services.msc and hit Enter.
• Search for BitLocker Device Encryption service.
• Double click on BitLocker Device Encryption service and click on
  Start button.

If the issue persists, follow method 2.

Method 3: Perform SFC scan

I would suggest you to perform SFC scan and check if that helps. The
sfc/scannow command scans all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with correct Microsoft versions. It is a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore
corrupted files.

Refer the link: Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted
system files

Note: Link applies to Windows 10 as well.
