Bitlocker Auto-Unlock Wont Enable

Hello all,

I cant get bitlocker auto-unlock to enable for my data drive. I get this blank dialog box popup when I try.



I've tried the common DISM and SFC commands to make sure all the system files are intact. It came up with one file to repair, but the CBS log listed it as the Bluetooth driver file and it did fix it, but it wouldnt have anything to do with it.

I also tried a repair install of Windows and it made no difference. This happened on the Dev build of 26220.7271. I did a clean install of Windows due to having some other issues, and this started after that. I thought maybe some files got botched during the install so I tried a repair install to see if it would fix it. No dice. Last night, my system updated to the newest Dev build so I thought I would check it again after that, and it still throws the same error.

I have bitlocker enabled on both my OS drive and Data drive. Anyone have any ideas what is causing this and what I can do? Im thinking its probably a bug in the dev flights but not sure.

That is your answer right there. Bitlocker is protecting the drive from incursion.
You need to use your bitlocker keys to unlock the drive.

The drive is unlocked. It wont even list the option to enable auto-unlock until the drive is unlocked. It doesnt matter which way I unlock it, with the password or the bitlocker keys.
