How to enable bitlocker?

Post by Technico »

Hi,

I was trying to enable bitlocker on my preinstalled Win 10 IOT 2016 LTSB
When starting bitlocker I get the following message:
"The path specified in the Boot Configuration Data (BCD) for a BitLocker Drive Encryption integrity-protected application is incorrect. Please verify and correct your BCD settings and try again."

Which (BCD/BIOS?) settings need to be changed in order to get this working properly?

thanks

In the BIOS on the security tab, Secure Boot was [Enabled] but 'Not Active'
after setting Secure Boot Customization from [Standard] to [Custom],
followed by a Save and restart, it became Active.

After this step I was able to Start BitLocker in Win 10 IOT 2016 LTSB !!


However... :( (perhaps I should create a different topic for this)
after reboot something went wrong which prevented me to gain access to the Windows partition.
The Identifier for unlocking the drive matched with the one stored together with the BitLocker recovery key but it still failed to unlock.
After half a day of searching/trying different solutions, I gave up... :evil:
Only way to continue was to delete the partition and start over...

Unfortunately I only had created a recovery stick (which is only for booting and recovery)
and I did not create a system image.

Is there someone who knows how I can restore/install my preinstalled Win 10 IOT 2016 LTSB ??? :?:

thanks

I had my Win 10 Image reinstalled by our supplier.
Once Secure boot was enabled, I was able to properly enable bitlocker for my system.
