How to turn on BitLocker after clean install of Windows 10

[hughlle]

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.

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?

OK...it looks like that when you did the clean install you lost your recovery partition, can you show us your volumes listed in Disk Management?

This is my Disk Management status

Thats not good. Is there a way to reset all partitions to factory default. I did clean install from a system image I downloaded from Microsoft and during installation there was no problem.
