User case: How to turn off BitLocker password at startup?
I just enabled and completed Bitlocker encryptoni on C: on a Win 10 Pro machine, remotely. I saved the bitlocker key file just in case. But the BitLocker is asking for a password on every boot. I really do not need the hassle, so I'm trying to determine how to be sure of this, yet can't. In Bitlocker under Control Panel, if I click the option (paraphrasing as it's not in front of me right now) "change how driver is unlocked at startup".
If I go into this, the only available options is to set a PIN, the other two options are greyed out. Do I even want to enable anything in here? I suppose I need to read up on this a bit more but would appreciate the straight up advice on how to avoid users being prompted, ever, ideally.
