Question

Hi All,

Despite Bitlocker is running on my laptop which has Windows 10 Pro it does not prompt the password (no blue screen) when I start the laptop. Any help please? Thanks in advance

Hello,

I suggest you to check with Require additional authentication at startup Group Policy setting and see if Allow BitLocker without a compatible TPM option is checked.

If that option is checked, you can use password else you can enable BitLocker PIN if you've TPM installed (works in Windows 10):
