Windows 10: BitLocker won't suspend / boot into safe mode

Hi. I need some assistance with Windows 10, please. 1. When I suspend BitLocker it won't allow me boot into safe mode and asks for pass key / recovery key anyway. 2. When I disable BitLocker completely and and try to boot into safe mode it says access is denied at all. 3. I decrypted and re-encrypted it again and have this "whatever" key saved. Now the question is will it allow me to boot into safe mode and "return" back from it? Can it see my new key at all? I verified it in my command prompt like this: manage-bde -protectors -get C: It shows me the ID and the password key. However,

BitLocker won't suspend / boot into safe mode

Hi.



I need some assistance with Windows 10, please.



1. When I suspend BitLocker it won't allow me boot into safe mode and asks for pass key / recovery key anyway.

2. When I disable BitLocker completely and and try to boot into safe mode it says access is denied at all.

3. I decrypted and re-encrypted it again and have this "whatever" key saved.



Now the question is will it allow me to boot into safe mode and "return" back from it? Can it see my new key at all?



I verified it in my command prompt like this:



manage-bde -protectors -get C:



It shows me the ID and the password (key).



However, I am worried I may not be bale to "boot and back" as there is something fishy going on. BitLocker's suspension was supposed to let me boot into safe mode in the first place.. and disabling BitLocker completely had to allow me to boot into safe mode as well..



I am afraid to make the system unbootable at all as it doesn't seem to work as excepted due to the above-mentioned points 1 and 2. Will it stick to this new key it generated during decryption and re-encryption process or is it all hopeless and the first key created ages ago and lost somewhere in time is the only key to get to the safe mode?



Would appreciate any suggestions / advices / comments at all. Many thanks in advance!

 

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.

 

BitLocker blocks Safe Mode

Well, it is supposed to do that. See this article for a solution. BitLocker not allowing me to reboot in Safe Mode - Windows 10 Support (bleepingcomputer.com)
