Windows 10: BitLocker - the start-up options on this pc are configured incorrectly

Hi All,

First of writting here for help I have search and didnt found solution to my problem...I have a dell laptop with TPM V2.0 and it is active on BIOS. Also I have activated bitlocker for SO and fixed drives and all was working perfectly.

My motherboard had crushed so I had to change it. to do so I had to turn bitlocker off.

Now that I have my pc running again I cannot turn on bitlocker as it gives the error "the start-up options on this pc are configured incorrectly..."

I have cleared TPM, changed bitlocker definitions on gpedit.msc (as suggested by other people) like:but without results...

At this moment in gpeditor there is not configured any of the bitlocker policy settings (Windows components\operating system drives) as they here not configured before the motherboard crash...

Does anyone knows how I can turn bitlocker on again?

Many thanks

:)

 

Need to turn off Bitlocker to install Windows 10

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.

To suspend BitLocker Drive Encryption on an operating system drive, please follow the steps below:

• 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.

 

Installed Bitlocker does not ask for password on computer start-up!


I have managed to solve the issue thanks to the terrific guys here on these forums.

For anyone else who is ever in the same boat, step 5 on this page is what you need to do. As it states, you need to unencrypt your hard-drive, then configure the settings in step 5, and then encrypt your drive again.

Now it asks me for a Bitlocker pin number whenever I start-up my computer.

THANK YOU to everyone for your incredible assistance. I have enjoyed far more knowledgeable folk and superior support here than I have ever seen on Microsoft's lousy forums where their own staff have little idea about the products they supposedly specialise in. It's a real pity that, now that we are even into version 10 of Windows, even the simplest of steps is made into a headache that can take 10+ hours to resolve. For the life of me, I don't know why Bitlocker can't just ask you "would you like to set-up a password when you start-up your computer?" instead of having to go into the deeper recesses of the operating system's configuration options and taking 25 steps to be able to so.

Thanks everyone!

 

is there any demand for a system configurator?
