Windows 10: Win 10 no boot, bit locker is enabled

I have a Dell laptop that will not boot into windows 10 BSOD 0x0000000f but pc has bit locker enabled. How can I troubleshoot or perform repairs to windows with bit locker enabled and no ability to boot into windows?

Windows 10 - Blue Screen during boot (possibly caused by Bit Locker)

Looks like I may have solved the problem. I turned of Bit Locker and now the computer can boot successfully. Not sure why that was a problem. Bit Locker has been enabled for over a year.

Recover Bit Locker key to login through BIOS

Hi
AbhishekEllangi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



We can imagine how difficult it could be. However, we would need some more information regarding the issue.

1. Are you not able login to your computer due to BitLocker Recovery Key?
2. Did you ever setup BitLocker Recovery Key on your computer?
3. Are you using Windows 10 Home or Windows 10 Professional?

I would suggest you to follow these methods and check if that helps.



Method 1: Find the Bit locker key.

I would suggest you to search for the Bit locker key, please refer the Microsoft article on
Find my BitLocker recovery key.Once
you have found the key, try to login and check.



Method 2: Enable Secure Boot.

It might be that the Secure Boot has been disabled and some BIOS updates have caused this to happen, so follow the below steps and toggle the UEFI Secure Boot in BIOS.



NOTE: Modifying BIOS/ complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings incorrectly can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from booting properly. Microsoft
cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the configuring of BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Modifications of the settings are at your own risk.

1. 1. Power the device off and then back on.
      
   2. Look for a message on the boot screen just before or after the manufacturer logo appears. You may need to press the “F1”,”F2”, or ”Delete” button, whatever key is indicated on the boot screen to enter BIOS
      Settings.
      
   3. Inside BIOS, look for a tab called BOOT and select that page.
      
      1. Depending on the BIOS manufacturer this page could be BOOT, ADVANCED, STARTUP, etc.
         
   4. Look for a setting for UEFI Secure Boot.
      
      1. Each BIOS could have a different name for this. These are the keywords to look for: UEFI, Secure Boot, Legacy Boot
         
   5. Toggle the Secure Boot setting to enable and attempt to boot the machine.
