Yellow triangle with exclamation mark on c drive in explorer

Question

Hi there

After fixing the problem with my surface pro3 not starting up (someone on here helped me out A LOT) I now see a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark on my c (windows) drive it looks like this.


I have never seen this before but since I went back from win 10 to 8.1 this is there, it's not causing any problems that I can see but it is annoying, does anyone know how to get rid of it please.

Answer 1

all I can advise is that you probably need to clear the TPM

from the downloadable recovery image again.

Answer 2

help?

Answer 3

I have looked into this but I cannot alter it in any way. The bitlocker will not turn on at all. The only message I get is this one.
