  1. BitLocker On when not turned on


    I have been imaging laptops for my company. Recently however, with no changes to the image we use, it says bitlocker is turned on when it isn't.


    Specifically, one of the first things I do is install Dell SupportAssist to update drivers/bios. The bios update fails because it cant do it while bitlocker is encrypting.


    When I check bitlocker settings, it says "Bitlocker Encrypting", but bitlocker isn't turned on. There is an option to turn it on. The only way for me to fix it is to turn on bitlocker, then turn it off again immediately after, causing it to start decryption.


    Why is bitlocker being turned on automatically? And why doesn't it recognize that it's on?

    :)

    Hi,

    We suggest doing the following steps again to resolve the issue. To complete the procedure, make sure that you have the following information:

    • You must be able to provide administrative credentials.
    • The drive must be BitLocker-protected.

    • Click Start, click Control Panel, click
      System and Security, and then click BitLocker Drive Encryption.
    • Click Suspend Protection for the operating system drive.
    • A message is displayed, informing you that your data will not be protected while BitLocker is suspended and asking if you want to suspend BitLocker Drive Encryption.
    • Click Yes to continue and suspend BitLocker on the drive.

    Let us know how it goes.
