FVE_E_AUTOUNLOCK_ENABLED means that BitLocker cannot be turned off on the operating-system drive while associated fixed or removable data drives still use auto-unlock. The auto-unlock relationship depends on key material stored with the OS drive.

How to investigate for FVE_E_AUTOUNLOCK_ENABLED

  • Identify the data drives configured for auto-unlock on this computer before changing OS-drive protection.
  • Disable or reconfigure auto-unlock deliberately, then recheck the OS-drive status.
