BitLocker won't enable on Windows 10 after update on Aug 9

Hi Brenda,

I would be happy to assist you.

Before I assist you I would like to know the information below,

• 
  Do you have a Windows 10 copy of the operating system?
  

I suggest you check whether the Bit locker is ON or OFF using the steps below.

Can you verify if BitLocker is enabled or disabled on your device? You can Enable/disable BitLocker by going to Desktop and follow these steps:

• 
  Swipe Right to Left to bring up the Charm.
  
• 
  Choose Settings.
  
• 
  Choose Control Panel.
  
• 
  Select BitLocker Drive Encryption.
  
• 
  Verify whether BitLocker is on or off on each device.
  

Also I suggest you to enable the WinRE so that you can enter the bit locker key and proceed.

When WinRE is disabled, you cannot enable BitLocker, and you receive an error message that resembles the following.

This PC doesn't support entering a BitLocker recovery password during startup. Ask your administrator to configure Windows Recovery Environment so that you can use BitLocker.

The solution would be to manually enable the windows recovery environment:

• 
  Copying the winre.wim file from c:\windows\system32\recovery\ to a folder on a recovery partition. (The partition need to have a drive letter at this point.)
  
• 
  Set the RE Image path. Example: reagentc /setreimage /path r:\recovery\windowsre
  
• 
  Enable RE with command: reagentc /enable
  
• 
  (You may remove the drive letter for the recovery partition after you have done this.)
  
• 
  Bit locker will be enabled.
  

If the issue still persists, suggest you to post your query on the below link.

Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.

Thank you.

 

How do I (mount and) copy the contents of (hidden) WinRE?

I have a WinRE partition at the end of my SSD and I want to move it down following the Win NTFS system partition so I can install Linux in the fourth position.

This SuperUser suggests copying the contents of WinRE.

I would recommend assigning a drive letter to it and obtaining a copy of the WinRE.wim file. You'll need it to move the recovery environment somewhere later. You can obtain a copy of this file in other ways, but it will be easier just to get it ahead of time.

How to make a hidden partition visible says how to launch Disk Management to access Admin Privileges. But the steps say to right click on the hidden partition, but Disk Management never give me anything more than “help” popup.

How do I copy the contents of WinRE?

 

Cannot enable recovery agent in command prompt.

To know current state, output of reagentc /info command is necessary.

Setting up WinRE consists of two steps:
- specifying path to directory which contains winre.wim & other files
- enabling WinRE.

Steps usually needed: Can't enable Windows Recovery Environment

WinPE (install disk) IS NOT WinRE, there are many differences. WinPE lacks admin logon, startup settings, some recovery functions etc.
