    Bitlocker requires key on every reboot


    Today my laptop (surface laptop 2) would not log in using face recognition, I tried using pin and password but I was unable to type anything. I did a restart. Upon restarting bitlocker asked for a key. I didn't know what bitlocker was. I was able to find my key and get into windows. I am now unable to set up the "hello windows" face recognition and any restart asks for the bitlocker key. I have disabled bitlocker and uninstalled my last windows update.


    Does anyone have any further suggestions?


    TIA

    :)

    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

    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.
