Windows 10: Using Bitlocker without Bootup/Startup PIN Blue Screen

I have Bitlocker enabled and must enter a PIN at bootup. I would like to make the necessary config changes to continue using Bitlocker encryption but disable the bootup PIN.Windows 11 24H2 Build 26100.2605HP Elitebook X360 1040 G6Please, advise.

Bitlocker Blank blue screen at PIN screen

Our organization requires Laptops to be Encrypted with a PIN #. One of our Laptops is giving me trouble. I have Bitlocker turned on and fully encrypted and have require Startup PIN with TPM in the Require additional authentication at startup in GPEDIT. I also have the Enable use of Bitlocker Authentication Requiring preboot Keyboard input on Slates enabled. When turning on the Laptop Bitlocker comes up with the light blue screen where you enter the PIN but the screen is blank. It doesn't say Bitlocker or have a box to enter the PIN #. Now I can just type the pin # and press enter and it works and loads windows as normal. I obviously can't give this Laptop to a user like this.

Anybody have any suggestions as to a resolution to this issue.
Thank You.

 

Why is Bitlocker Bootup PIN Limited to Numerals by Default?

Why is the Bitlocker bootup pin limited to only numerals by default? Isn't that less secure? Or is it a moot point because a hostile actor who brute forces the pin would still be stopped by the windows login password screen?

 

Startup Blue Screen

Hi Jon,

Startup blue screen error(s) can occur if a problem causes your PC to shut down or restart unexpectedly. It could be due to the following:

• Outdated device software drivers
• Corrupted Windows update system files
• Software/Security conflicts

We would like to know some information:

• Did you get any blue screen stop error codes?
• Have you tried booting in Safe mode?

We suggest that you check this
article about troubleshooting blue screen errors and follow the troubleshooting steps provided there.

We will wait for your response
