FVE_E_POLICY_STARTUP_PIN_KEY_NOT_ALLOWED
FVE_E_POLICY_STARTUP_PIN_KEY_NOT_ALLOWED The effective BitLocker policy forbids the combination of a startup key and startup PIN. Both factors may be valid individually, but the selected combination is not permitted for this operating-system drive.
What to check
- Check the permitted startup protector combinations in the effective policy, not only the local BitLocker UI.
- Choose an allowed combination such as TPM only, TPM plus PIN, or TPM plus startup key if policy permits it.
- If the combination is required by design, resolve the policy before editing protectors.
