    How do you remove the timeout for bitlocker password at boot? No TPM.


    My laptop was running win 10 when I upgraded it to an edu license so I could bitlocker encode its hard drive. It has no TPM hardware so I had to type a password at boot time to boot. I forgot how I was able to disable the random timeout on that password entry. It is very annoying. It times out and shuts the computer power at random, between 1 second and 30 seconds after displaying the entry. After the annual update, that has come back to haunt me once more.

    Anyone still remembering how to disable this non-sense bitlocker password boot timeout? I'll write down the solution this time!

    :)

    Bitlocker on my newer model laptop with TPM chip

    I am sorry but the link that you provided was of no use. My bitlocker is apparently working as it should on this Samsung S9 laptop which has a TPM chip, but no TPM module. I took it to a computer shop to discover that the module is missing. We also turned
    off bitlocker and the laptop decrypted in about 20 minutes. That is fast considering that there is 80GB+ data on its SSD hard drive.

    I am no happy that my laptop boots up directly to the Windows password screen. I need it to boot up the the bitlocker password screen first.

    Do I possibly need to change the settings on my TPM chip equipped (but not TPM module equipped) laptop as I did on my desktop PCs that do not have TPM chips? On those I changed the settings to authenticate without TPM.

    Please help me figure out how to make my laptop boot to the bitlocker password screen before proceeding to the Windows password screen.

    remove bitlocker encryption

    Hi Leon,

    I use a password to unlock the drive. You shouldn't have to use the recovery key to get in each time.

    That's what the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) device does is to store the encryption key for you so you don't have to enter anything. Do you have a TPM on your motherboard?

    I don't have any TPM on my computers so I just followed this article to enable Bitlocker in the Local Group Policy Editor and then I selected to use the password option:
