I have used Bitlocker on various computers. &nbsp;Some that are TPM and others that are not. &nbsp;The one I am having an issue with is. The problem when I set it up I save the key it encrypts but each time I restart it wants the entire key (which is a pain) to log in. &nbsp;I tried setting it up with gpedit and enable password but still no option to set it when I turn off BitLocker and back on. Only the key is different. What am I missing?<br />

BitLocker asking for entire key each startup

Windows 10 is a personal computer operating system featuring the "universal application architecture" (UAP); apps can be designed to run across multiple devices with nearly identical code, including PCs, tablets, smartphones, embedded systems, Xbox One, Surface Hub and HoloLens. Windows 10 also includes a virtual desktop system, a window and desktop management feature called Task View, the Microsoft Edge web browser, support for fingerprint and face recognition login, voice-based search (Cortana), new security features for enterprise environments, and DirectX 12 and WDDM 2.0 to improve the operating system's graphics capabilities for games.
