STATUS_FVE_AUTH_INVALID_CONFIG
What this BitLocker status means
The issue is a Boot Configuration Data validation mismatch. Unlike STATUS_FVE_AUTH_INVALID_APPLICATION, this status points to configuration state rather than the hash of a boot application.
State to verify
Record the BCD configuration and the relevant policy before changing anything. Investigate legitimate boot-menu, debugger, hypervisor, device, or recovery configuration changes and determine whether the change was expected for the protected OS volume.
Recovery and confirmation
Use the approved recovery method for access when required. Recreating protectors or disabling protection without understanding the configuration drift can make the next boot less predictable and can weaken the intended boot-integrity boundary.
