FVE_E_POLICY_STARTUP_PIN_REQUIRED

FVE_E_POLICY_STARTUP_PIN_REQUIRED The effective BitLocker policy requires a startup PIN, but the requested operating-system-drive setup does not include one. The allowed protector combination must satisfy the policy before BitLocker can be enabled.

What to check

  • Confirm that the policy is intended for this device population and that pre-boot PIN entry is usable on the hardware.
  • Add the required TPM plus PIN protector through the approved workflow.
  • Keep a verified recovery method available before changing startup protectors.
