Stuck in an automatic repair - bitlocker loop.

None of that works and judging by the number of people with this complaint and the variety of machine brands I'm going to say this is Windows fault, not HP's or Lenovo's software etc. You know Microsoft won't be refunding us. They should, their glitchy software just ruined my year old laptop and their glitchy software was the most expensive part of the price. Nothing could be saved, everything was lost and I'm switching to Ubuntu, I've had all I can take from Microsoft. Updates that change your entire desktop environment and add an admin account when I'm already admin. I had to log out of this new admin and log in as me. And godforsaken BING all over the place! I felt like somebody hacked my machine and they did basically, but I was stupid enough to let them by letting it update automatically. Fewer and fewer options for selecting and/or removing updates etc. Not anymore, keep your high priced invasive intrusive garbage, Linux has better for free.

I'm having the same problem. I went to lunch, came back and my computer went to sleep mode. I turned it back on and the main display would not load up but my external monitors worked fine still. I finished out my work day... and now I'm just stuck in a blue screen loop. It won't repair. Diagnose. It routes me to the blue screen for bitlocker unlock, which I do and then it just perpetually goes back through all the same steps.

We have Lenovo Carbon X1 Gen 11's with this issue.

One of them I completely wiped and re-imaged with software directly from Lenovo support and the issue continued.

Another one I attempted wiping from Intune but it never went through so I wiped the computer and reinstalled Windows 11 and it seemed to fix that one.

Had a third start doing it today, they ran updates on Friday and opened up the computer to the Bitlocker/automatic repairing your PC loop. It's something in a Windows update patch or we think something from Lenovo either a system update or BIOS update.

What's so frustrating is no matter how many times you type in the Bitlocker key it just takes to the Windows didn't start correctly screen and NONE of the options in those menus seem to resolve the issue.

If I somehow can get this third user into Windows I am going to try and turn off Bitlocker to see if that may resolve the issue.

Same as the original poster we've tried any and every step online and there seems to be no direct fix.

I experienced a similar issue while building a Windows 11 image for workstation deployment. I'm not sure if this will help others, but figured I would post it.

If you are currently stuck in a repair loop:

1. When prompted, select Advanced Options > Command Prompt
2. Type and run DISKPART
3. Type and run LIST VOL
   1. Identify your primary volume, then take note of the volume number and drive letter
4. If there isn't a drive letter assigned to your primary partition:
   1. Type and run SELECT VOL 0
      1. Replace 0 with your appropriate vol number
   2. Type and run ASSIGN LETTER=G:
      1. You can use any available drive letter, just make sure to update the below commands accordingly
   3. Type and run LIST VOL again to verify the volume now has the drive letter assigned
   4. Type and run EXIT
5. Type and run MANAGE-BDE -UNLOCK G: -RECOVERYPASSWORD "Enter your 48-digit recovery password including dashes here"
6. Type and run MANAGE-BDE -OFF G:
7. Type and run MANAGE-BDE -STATUS G: to monitor the decryption process
8. Once decrypted, restart the computer by closing the Command Prompt window

Once out of the repair loop cycle with Bitlocker disabled:

1. Boot into your BIOS and ensure SECURE BOOT is enabled
2. Save and close the BIOS
3. Login to your Windows user account
4. Open Command Prompt as an Administrator
5. CAUTION! Run the below commands at your own risk. They should be accurate for a system with a standard Windows installation and a single disk drive for storage.
6. Type and run bcdedit -set {current} osdevice partition=C:
7. Type and run bcdedit -set {current} device partition=C:
8. Type and run bcdedit -set {memdiag} device partition=\Device\HarddiskVolume1
9. Bitlocker should now enable and restart without recovery looping

Good luck!

Same thing-updated, opened it up this am and no matter how many times i enter the bitlocker password OR try bypassing in advanced it’s stuck in this loop…seems like an OS problem. Quite disappointed.
