FVE_E_NO_AUTOUNLOCK_MASTER_KEY

FVE_E_NO_AUTOUNLOCK_MASTER_KEY means that BitLocker could not obtain the auto-unlock master key from the operating-system volume. Auto-unlock depends on key material stored and protected by the OS drive; it is not portable to every recovery or data-drive state.

How to investigate

  • Confirm that the operating-system volume is available, protected as expected, and not in a recovery or unsupported state.
  • Check whether the selected drive is eligible for auto-unlock on this computer.
  • Keep an independent recovery method for the data volume rather than relying only on auto-unlock.
