OneDrive Personal Vault setup failed with error 0x8031005b

Question

Hello,

I've got this error when trying to set up Personal Vault 0x8031005b and did not find any description from Microsoft for this error.

Please help.

Answer 1

This is a subject that Microsoft has really little addressed.

After searching for the error, I found that it is linked to Bitlocker. Then I found this on a forum, which solved the problem with the OneDrive Personal Vault for the error 0x8031005b.

Open Policy settings:

gpedit.msc

• Go to “Local Computer Policy > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > BitLocker Drive Encryption > Operating System Drives”
• Select the following Item: “Require additional authentication at startup”

Local Group Policy Editor

• Change the following:
• Change it to “Enabled”
• Uncheck “Allow BitLocker without a compatible TPM”
• Change “Configure TPM startup” to “Do not allow TPM”
• Change “Configure TPM startup PIN” to “Require startup PIN with TPM”
• Change “Configure TPM startup key” to “Do not allow startup key with TPM”
• Change “Configure TPM startup key and PIN” to “Do not allow startup key and PIN with TPM”
• Click “Apply” and “OK”

For me it's solved so far, but the forum still mentions some more steps you can try too:

Open regedit

• Find key: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\FVE
• Export for backup and delete it.
• Open Terminal and execute:

gpupdate /force /target:computer

• To encrypt the drive F:

manage-bde -on f: -rp

Result should be something like: BitLocker Drive Encryption: Configuration Tool version 10.0.19041
