Windows 10: Major Bitlock issues

I'm running Windows 10 Home edition. I've read that Bitlock is not available on this edition, but it is on my computer! I didn't even know I had Bitlock until a couple of days ago when I went to boot up my laptop, I received a "Bitlock Recovery" message to "Enter the recovery key for this device". So I accessed my key and did so. I thought maybe this was a one time glitch or issue, but now every time I turn off my laptop and go to reboot it, the Recovery message appears again and I have to go through the whole routine again, entering my Recovery Key.


I went online to look for suggestions and have spent hours trying to figure out what is going on, trying the various suggestions I've read in forums and NOTHING is working. I finally found a path to what I thought would solve the problem and toggled the "disable" button so it would stop popping up when I turn on the computer, but it's still there every time I start. Can anyone help?

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.
