Windows 10: Yubikey 5 and certreq

I'm trying to use bitlocker with a yubikey 5 NFC. I installed the yubikey minidriver and followed this tutorial. When I try to create the blcert using certreq –new blcert.txt. Unfortunately I get the error "The smart card cannot perform the requested operation [...]". When I uninstall the minidriver, I get the error that the smart card is read only. Any ideas?

Password-less Login with the YubiKey 5 Comes to Microsoft Accounts

But apparently, Microsoft and yubikey don't play well with each other... I have strong passwords...but would like to ease the process a bit..and up the safety factor by removing all the passwords from my devices, as one cannot encrypt single folders.. The
yubikey plays well with Linux systems...chrome and other browsers...but not with Microsoft ...
