FVE_E_AUTH_INVALID_APPLICATION

FVE_E_AUTH_INVALID_APPLICATION means that a boot application protected by BitLocker integrity measurements changed after the protector was configured. BitLocker therefore requires recovery instead of automatically releasing the volume key.

How to investigate

Use the approved recovery method, then determine whether the change came from a legitimate OS, firmware, boot-manager, or security update.
Check change-management records before altering boot files or TPM protectors.
Preserve the recovery key ID and the device state for troubleshooting if the change was unexpected.
