FVE_E_WRONG_BOOTMGR

FVE_E_WRONG_BOOTMGR indicates that the boot manager used for startup is not the one expected by the BitLocker configuration. This can arise after a boot repair, disk migration, firmware setting change, or a nonstandard boot chain.

What to verify

  • Confirm which disk and boot entry the firmware actually starts.
  • Check the installation and boot-partition layout before attempting repairs.
  • Use the documented recovery process and retain the recovery key during any remediation.
