Bitlocker resume protection wizard initialization has failed
-
Aight Fam (short for family), this is what I've discovered that seems to be working thus far.
- Go into the bios to see if TPM is activated or deactivated. If deactivated, click activated, apply, exit and restart computer.
- Log in as admin, type in search bar "tpm.msc and select.
- On the far righthand side under, "Actions", see if TPM is initialized. If not, click on initialize to initialize it.
- Once you finished initializing it, the computer will ask to restart.
- After logging in, go to Control Panel, Bitlocker
- If the Bitlocker is turned off, turn it on and allow it to do it's work in the background
Now mind you I just discovered that the Bitlocker can be on, but a server will give a notification stating otherwise due to the Bitlocker on the computer isn't properly communicating with the server.
To check to see if this is the case, Go into the property of the computer via AD. Under the Bitlocker tab, if you don't see any pwd key or any information pertaining to Bitlocker that's the issue. Try to reset, if not, clear.
If you have to go beyond this point, it's beyond me. Thus far all that I mentioned above has worked for me. G'luck! -

Thank you for your concern. The cool thing about Bitlocker, the Pwd recovery key is listed in the AD under the Bitlocker tab. -

AD is the much better option.

And only if you have AD manage this
I tried to get my boss to have us upgrade everyone to Windows 10, he said nope, not until at least a year has passed... So instead we're using a separate encryption software for our needs.

@DustinB3403 one more aspect of the cost of not upgrading. Often the costs of staying back are hidding in the little things liek this.

HUH? Is bitlocker now included with Windows 10 Pro? I thought it was still limited to the Enterprise OS only?

It is included.

@DustinB3403
I'm not sure about Windows OS 10, but I'm dealing with an Enterprise network. -
@MrWright4hire I have Windows 10 Pro at home, and I have bitlocker.
No need to question me

Just because?
-
Because I have Bitlocker enabled on my Window 10 Professional computer.

LOL, that's not what I was asking... I'm asking "why do you have bitlocker enabled at home?" Is it just because you can? Because you wanted to test it to learn? Because you have files you want to make sure no one else can get to without your password?
I have pro at home too, but I wouldn't bother turning bitlocker on because it's a hassle I just don't have a warrant for at home.
-
@Dashrender Oh I was just testing it.

@BRRABill Swimmingly until I restarted over Teamviewer...
