I have had the same issue with my SP3. Installed a fresh copy of win 10 before handing it over to my partner, and following the install, cannot for the life of me turn bitlocker back on.

That is weird as you are showing that S0iX is enabled and can work on a Bitlockered system....


I see, so any idea as how to enable bitlocker? Looks like this is not an isolated issue, other people are reporting the same problem in windows forums.

Its a possible bug in the UI - Open PowerShell Prompt elevated and run this:

manage-bde -status c:

Not sure if you want to go down this path but just like before from and elevated PowerShell Prompt:

run:
$Tpm = Get-CIMClass -Namespace ROOT\CIMV2\Security\MicrosoftTpm -Class Win32_Tpm

Then run these:

TPM enabled

$Tpm.IsEnabled().isenabled

#TPM activation

$Tpm.IsActivated().isactivated

#TPM owned

$Tpm.IsOwned().isOwned


Do any of these come back as false?
