This policy setting allows you to configure a default list of Favorites that appear for your employee, which they cannot modify, sort, move, export or delete. By default, this setting is disabled or not configured allowing you to customize the Favorites list, such as adding folders to organize their favorites. If enabled, you are not allowed to add, import, or change anything in the Favorites list. As part of this, the Save a Favorite, Import settings, and context menu items (such as Create a new folder) are turned off.
If you enable this setting, you can configure what default Favorites appear for your employees. If this setting is enabled, you must also provide a list of Favorites in the Options section. This list is imported after your policy is deployed.
Specify the URL which points to the file that has all the data for provisioning favorites (in html format).
URL can be specified as:

## Automatic updates
Internet Explorer 11 makes browsing the web faster, easier, safer, and more reliable than ever. To help customers become more secure and up-to-date, Microsoft will distribute Internet Explorer 11 through Automatic Updates and the Windows Update and Microsoft Update sites. Internet Explorer 11 will be available for users of the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1), and 64-bit version of Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1. This article provides an overview of the delivery process and options available for IT administrators to control how and when Internet Explorer 11 is deployed to their organization through Automatic Updates.
### Automatic delivery process
Internet Explorer 11 only downloads and installs if it’s available for delivery through Automatic Updates; and Automatic Updates only offer Internet Explorer 11 to users with local administrator accounts. User’s without local administrator accounts won’t be prompted to install the update and will continue using their current version of Internet Explorer.
Internet Explorer 11 replaces Internet Explorer 8, Internet Explorer 9, or Internet Explorer 10. If you decide you don’t want Internet Explorer 11, and you’re running Windows 7 SP1 or Windows Server 2008 R2 with SP1, you can uninstall it from the **View installed updates** section of the **Uninstall an update** page of the Control Panel. 
### Internet Explorer 11 automatic upgrades
Internet Explorer 11 is offered through Automatic Updates and Windows Update as an Important update. Users running Windows 7 SP1, who have chosen to download and install updates automatically through Windows Update, are automatically upgraded to Internet Explorer 11.
Users who were automatically upgraded to Internet Explorer 11 can decide to uninstall Internet Explorer 11. However, Internet Explorer 11 will still appear as an optional update through Windows Update.
### Options for blocking automatic delivery
If you use Automatic Updates in your company, but want to stop your users from automatically getting Internet Explorer 11, do one of the following:
- **Download and use the Internet Explorer 11 Blocker Toolkit.** Includes a Group Policy template and a script that permanently blocks Internet Explorer 11 from being offered by Windows Update or Microsoft Update as a high-priority update. You can download this kit from the [Microsoft Download Center](https://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=40722).
>[!NOTE]
>The toolkit won't stop users with local administrator accounts from manually installing Internet Explorer 11. Using this toolkit also prevents your users from receiving automatic upgrades from Internet Explorer 8, Internet Explorer 9, or Internet Explorer 10 to Internet Explorer 11. For more information, see the [Internet Explorer 11 Blocker Toolkit frequently asked questions](#faq).
- **Use an update management solution to control update deployment.** If you already use an update management solution, like [Windows Server Update Services (WSUS)](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows-server/administration/windows-server-update-services/get-started/windows-server-update-services-wsus) or the more advanced [System Center 2012 Configuration Manager](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=276664), you should use that instead of the Internet Explorer Blocker Toolkit.
>[!NOTE]
>If you use WSUS to manage updates, and Update Rollups are configured for automatic installation, Internet Explorer will automatically install throughout your company.
### Prevent automatic installation of Internet Explorer 11 with WSUS
Internet Explorer 11 will be released to WSUS as an Update Rollup package. Therefore, if you’ve configured WSUS to “auto-approve” Update Rollup packages, it’ll be automatically approved and installed. To stop Internet Explorer 11 from being automatically approved for installation, you need to:
1. Click **Start**, click **Administrative Tools**, and then click **Microsoft Windows Server Update Services 3.0**.
2. Expand *ComputerName*, and then click **Options**.
3. Click **Automatic Approvals**.
4. Click the rule that automatically approves an update that is classified as Update Rollup, and then click **Edit.**
>[!NOTE]
>If you don’t see a rule like this, you most likely haven’t configured WSUS to automatically approve Update Rollups for installation. In this situation, you don’t have to do anything else.
5. Click the **Update Rollups** property under the **Step 2: Edit the properties (click an underlined value)** section.
>[!NOTE]
>The properties for this rule will resemble the following:<ul><li>When an update is in Update Rollups</li><li>Approve the update for all computers</li></ul>
6. Clear the **Update Rollup** check box, and then click **OK**.
7. Click **OK** to close the **Automatic Approvals** dialog box.
After the new Internet Explorer 11 package is available for download, you should manually synchronize the new package to your WSUS server, so that when you re-enable auto-approval it won’t be automatically installed.
1. Click **Start**, click **Administrative Tools**, and then click **Microsoft Windows Server Update Services 3.0**.
2. Expand *ComputerName*, and then click **Synchronizations**.
3. Click **Synchronize Now**.
4. Expand *ComputerName*, expand **Updates**, and then click **All Updates**.
5. Choose **Unapproved** in the **Approval**drop down box.
6. Check to make sure that Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 is listed as an unapproved update.
>[!NOTE]
>There may be multiple updates, depending on the imported language and operating system updates.
### Optional - Reset update rollups packages to auto-approve
1. Click **Start**, click **Administrative Tools**, and then click **Microsoft Windows Server Update Services 3.0**.
2. Expand *ComputerName*, and then click **Options**.
3. Click **Automatic Approvals**.
4. Click the rule that automatically approves updates of different classifications, and then click **Edit**.
5. Click the **Update Rollups** property under the **Step 2: Edit the properties (click an underlined value)** section.
6. Check the **Update Rollups** check box, and then click **OK**.
7. Click **OK** to close the **Automatic Approvals** dialog box.
>[!NOTE]
>Because auto-approval rules are only evaluated when an update is first imported into WSUS, turning this rule back on after the Internet Explorer 11 update has been imported and synchronized to the server won’t cause this update to be auto-approved.
## <a name="faq"></a>Frequently Asked Questions 
Get answers to commonly asked questions about the Internet Explorer 11 Blocker Toolkit.
### Automatic updates delivery process
**Q. What tools can I use to manage Windows Updates and Microsoft Updates in my company?**
A. We encourage anyone who wants full control over their company’s deployment of Windows Updates and Microsoft Updates, to use [Windows Server Update Services (WSUS)](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows-server/administration/windows-server-update-services/get-started/windows-server-update-services-wsus), a free tool for users of Windows Server. You can also use the more advanced configuration management tool, [System Center 2012 Configuration Manager](https://technet.microsoft.com/library/gg682041.aspx).
**Q. How long does the blocker mechanism work?**
A. The Internet Explorer 11 Blocker Toolkit uses a registry key value to permanently turn off the automatic delivery of Internet Explorer 11. This behavior lasts as long as the registry key value isn’t removed or changed.
**Q. Why should I use the Internet Explorer 11 Blocker Toolkit to stop delivery of Internet Explorer 11? Why can’t I just disable all of utomatic Updates?**
A. Automatic Updates provide you with ongoing critical security and reliability updates. Turning this feature off can leave your computers more vulnerable. Instead, we suggest that you use an update management solution, such as WSUS, to fully control your environment while leaving this feature running, managing how and when the updates get to your user’s computers.
The Internet Explorer 11 Blocker Toolkit safely allows Internet Explorer 11 to download and install in companies that can’t use WSUS, Configuration Manager, or other update management solution.
**Q. Why don’t we just block URL access to Windows Update or Microsoft Update?**
A. Blocking the Windows Update or Microsoft Update URLs also stops delivery of critical security and reliability updates for all of the supported versions of the Windows operating system; leaving your computers more vulnerable.
### How the Internet Explorer 11 Blocker Toolkit works
**Q. How should I test the Internet Explorer 11 Blocker Toolkit in my company?**
A. Because the toolkit only sets a registry key to turn on and off the delivery of Internet Explorer 11, there should be no additional impact or side effects to your environment. No additional testing should be necessary.
**Q. What’s the registry key used to block delivery of Internet Explorer 11?**
A. HKLM\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Internet Explorer\\Setup\\11.0
**Q. What’s the registry key name and values?**
The registry key name is **DoNotAllowIE11**, where:
- A value of **1** turns off the automatic delivery of Internet Explorer 11
using Automatic Updates and turns off the Express install option.
- Not providing a registry key, or using a value of anything other than **1**,
lets the user install Internet Explorer 11 through Automatic Updates or a
manual update.
**Q. Does the Internet Explorer 11 Blocker Toolkit stop users from manually installing Internet Explorer 11?**
A. No. The Internet Explorer 11 Blocker Toolkit only stops computers from automatically installing Internet Explorer 11 through Automatic Updates. Users can still download and install Internet Explorer 11 from the Microsoft Download Center or from external media.
**Q. Does the Internet Explorer 11 Blocker Toolkit stop users from automatically upgrading to Internet Explorer 11?**
A. Yes. The Internet Explorer 11 Blocker Toolkit also prevents Automatic Updates from automatically upgrading a computer from Internet Explorer 8, Internet Explorer 9, or Internet Explorer 10 to Internet Explorer 11.
**Q. How does the provided script work?**
A. The script accepts one of two command line options:
- **Block:** Creates the registry key that stops Internet Explorer 11 from installing through Automatic Updates.
- **Unblock:** Removes the registry key that stops Internet Explorer 11 from installing through Automatic Updates.
**Q. What’s the ADM template file used for?**
A. The Administrative Template (.adm file) lets you import the new Group Policy environment and use Group Policy Objects to centrally manage all of the computers in your company.
**Q. Is the tool localized?**
A. No. The tool isn’t localized, it’s only available in English (en-us). However, it does work, without any modifications, on any language edition of the supported operating systems.
### Internet Explorer 11 Blocker Toolkit and other update services
**Q. Does the Internet Explorer 11 blocking mechanism also block delivery of Internet Explorer 11 through update management solutions, like SUS?**
A. No. You can still deploy Internet Explorer 11 using one of the upgrade management solutions, even if the blocking mechanism is activated. The Internet Explorer 11 Blocker Toolkit is only intended for companies that don’t use upgrade management solutions.
**Q. If WSUS is set to 'auto-approve' Update Rollup packages (this is not the default configuration), how do I stop Internet Explorer 11 from automatically installing throughout my company?**
A. You only need to change your settings if:
- You use WSUS to manage updates and allow auto-approvals for Update Rollup installation.
-and-
- You have computers running either Windows 7 SP1 or Windows Server 2008 R2 (SP1) with Internet Explorer 8, Internet Explorer 9, or Internet Explorer 10 installed.
-and-
- You don’t want to upgrade your older versions of Internet Explorer to Internet Explorer 11 right now.
If these scenarios apply to your company, see [Internet Explorer 11 delivery through automatic updates](https://technet.microsoft.com/microsoft-edge/dn449235) for more information on how to prevent automatic installation.

## IEAK 11 users
IEAK 11 includes programs and tools that enterprises can use to customize, deploy, and administer Internet Explorer 11 for employee devices, while Internet service and content providers can use the same programs and tools to customize, deploy, and administer Internet Explorer 11 for customers.
Internet Explorer Administration Kit (IEAK) helps corporations, Internet service providers (ISPs), Internet content providers (ICPs), and independent software vendors (ISVs) to deploy and manage web-based solutions.
IEAK 10 and newer includes the ability to install using one of the following installation modes:
- Internal
- External
>[!NOTE]
>IEAK 11 works in network environments, with or without Microsoft Active Directory service.
### Corporations
IEAK helps corporate administrators establish version control, centrally distribute and manage browser installation, configure automatic connection profiles, and customize large portions of Internet Explorer, including features, security, communications settings, and other important functionality.
Corporate administrators install IEAK using Internal mode (for Internet Explorer 10 or newer) or Corporate mode (for Internet Explorer 9 or older).
### Internet service providers
IEAK helps ISPs customize, deploy and distribute, add third-party add-ons, search providers, and custom components, as well as include web slices and accelerators all as part of a custom Internet Explorer installation package.
ISPs install IEAK using External mode (for Internet Explorer 10 or newer) or Internet Service Provider (ISP) mode (for Internet Explorer 9 or older).
### Internet content providers
IEAK helps ICPs customize the appearance of Internet Explorer and its Setup program, including letting you add your company name or specific wording to the Title bar, set up a customer support webpage, set up the user home page and search providers, add links to the Favorites and the Explorer bars, add optional components, web slices and accelerators, and determine which compatibility mode Internet Explorer should use.
ICPs install IEAK using External mode (for Internet Explorer 10 or newer) or Internet Content Provider (ICP) mode (for Internet Explorer 9 or older)
### Independent software vendors
IEAK helps ISVs distribute (and redistribute) a custom version of Internet Explorer that can include custom components, programs, and controls (like the web browser control) that you create for your users. ISVs can also determine home pages, search providers, and add websites to the Favorites bar.
ISVs install IEAK using External mode (for Internet Explorer 10 or newer) or Internet Content Provider (ICP) mode (for Internet Explorer 9 or older).
## Included technology
IEAK 11 includes the following technology:
- **Internet Explorer Customization Wizard.** This wizard guides you through the process of creating custom browser packages. After these packages are installed on your user's desktop, the user receives customized versions of Internet Explorer 11, with the settings and options you selected through the wizard.
- **Windows Installer (MSI).** IEAK 11 supports creating an MSI wrapper for your custom Internet Explorer 11 packages, enabling you to use Active Directory to deploy the package to your user's PC.
- **IEAK Help.** IEAK 11 Help includes many conceptual and procedural topics, which you can view from the **Index**, **Contents**, or **Search** tabs. You also have the option to print any topic, or the entire Help library.

## Internet Explorer Setup fails on employee devices
## Internet Explorer Setup fails on user's devices
Various issues can cause problems during Setup, including missing files, trust issues, or URL monikers. You can troubleshoot these issues by reviewing the Setup log file, located at `IE11\_main.log` from the **Windows** folder (typically, `C:\Windows`). The log file covers the entire Setup process from the moment IE11Setup.exe starts until the last .cab file finishes, providing error codes that you can use to help determine the cause of the failure.

## Users cannot uninstall IE
If you cannot uninstall IE using **Uninstall or change a program** in the Control Panel, it could be because the uninstall information is not on the computer. To fix this issue, you should:
1. Review the uninstall log file, IE11Uninst.log, located in the `C:\Windows` folder. This log file covers the entire uninstallation process, including every file change, every registry change, and any dialog boxes that are shown.
2. Try to manually uninstall IE. Go to the backup folder, `<system_drive>:\Windows\$ie11$`, and run the uninstall file, `Spunist.exe`.
 
## The Internet Explorer Customization Wizard 11 does not work with user names that user double-byte character sets
The customization wizard does not work with user names that use double-byte character sets, such as Chinese or Japanese. To fix this, set the **TEMP** and **TMP** environmental variables to a path that does not use these characters (for example, C:\temp).
1. Open **System Properties**, click the **Advanced** tab, and then click **Environmental Variables**.
2. Click Edit, and then modify the **TEMP** and **TMP** environmental variables to a non-user profile directory.
 
## Unicode characters are not supported in IEAK 11 path names
While Unicode characters, such as Emoji, are supported for organization names and other branding items, you must not use Unicode characters in any paths associated with running the Internet Explorer Customization Wizard 11. This includes paths to your IEAK 11 installation and to the storage location for your custom packages after they're built.
## Internet Explorer branding conflicts when using both Unattend and IEAK 11 to customize Internet Explorer settings
Using both Unattend settings and an IEAK custom package to modify a user's version of Internet Explorer 11 might cause a user to lose personalized settings during an upgrade. For example, many manufacturers configure Internet Explorer using Unattend settings. If a user purchases a laptop, and then signs up for Internet service, their Internet Service Provider (ISP) might provide a version of Internet Explorer that has been branded (for example, with a custom homepage for that ISP) using Internet Explorer Customization Wizard 11. If that user later upgrades to a new version of Internet Explorer, the Unattend settings from the laptop manufacturer will be reapplied, overwriting any settings that the user configured for themselves (such as their homepage).
## IEAK 11 does not correctly apply the Delete all existing items under Favorites, Favorites Bar and Feeds option
The Internet Explorer Customization Wizard 11 does not correctly apply the **Delete all existing items under Favorites**, **Favorites Bar and Feeds** option, available on the **Browsing Options** page.
Selecting to include this feature in your customized Internet Explorer package enables the deletion of existing items in the **Favorites** and **Favorites Bar** areas, but it doesn't enable deletion in the **Feeds** area. In addition, this setting adds a new favorite, titled “Web Slice Gallery” to the **Favorites Bar**.
## F1 does not activate Help on Automatic Version Synchronization page
Pressing the **F1** button on the **Automatic Version Synchronization** page of the Internet Explorer Customization Wizard 11 does not display the **Help** page. Clicking the **Help** button enables you to open the Help system and view information about this page.
## Certificate installation does not work on IEAK 11
IEAK 11 doesn't install certificates added using the Add a Root Certificate page of the Internet Explorer Customization Wizard 11. Administrators can manually install certificates using the Certificates Microsoft Management Console snap-in (Certmgr.msc) or using the command-line tool, Certificate Manager (Certmgr.exe).
>[!NOTE]
>This applies only when using the External licensing mode of IEAK 11.
## The Additional Settings page appears in the wrong language when using a localized version of IEAK 11
When using IEAK 11 in other languages, the settings on the Additional Settings page appear in the language of the target platform, regardless of the IEAK 11 language.
>[!NOTE]
>This applies only when using the Internal licensing mode of IEAK 11.
To work around this issue, run the customization wizard following these steps:
1. On the **Language Selection** page, select the language that matches the language of your installed IEAK 11.
2. Click **Next**, and then click **Synchronize** on the Automatic Version Synchronization page.
3. After synchronization is complete, cancel the wizard.
4. Repeat these steps for each platform on the Platform Selection page.
After performing these steps, you must still do the following each time you synchronize a new language and platform:
1. Open File Explorer to the Program Files\Windows IEAK 11 or Program Files (x86)\Windows IEAK 11 folder.
2. Open the **Policies** folder, and then open the appropriate platform folder.
3. Copy the contents of the matching-language folder into the new language folder.
After completing these steps, the Additional Settings page matches your wizard’s language.
## Unable to access feeds stored in a subfolder
Adding feeds using the **Favorites**, **Favorites Bar**, and **Feeds** page of the Internet Explorer 11 Customization Wizard requires that the feeds be stored in a single folder. Creating two levels of folders, and creating the feed in the subfolder, causes the feed to fail.

1. Some rules can take a long time to process if the log files involved are large.
2. SetupDiag only outputs data in a text format. If another format is desired, please provide this [feedback](#feedback).
2. SetupDiag only outputs data in a text format.
3. If the failing computer is opted into the Insider program and getting regular pre-release updates, or an update is already pending on the computer when SetupDiag is run, it can encounter problems trying to open these log files. This will likely cause a failure to determine a root cause. In this case, try gathering the log files and running SetupDiag in offline mode.
## Sample output
The following is an example where SetupDiag is run in offline mode. In this example, it is found that disk space is not sufficient to complete Windows Setup:
The following is an example where SetupDiag is run in offline mode. In this example, there is an application warning, but since setup is executed in /quiet mode so it becomes a block. Instructions to resolve the problem are provided by SetupDiag in the output.
The output also provides an error code 0xC1900208 - 0x4000C which corresponds to a compatibility issue as documented in the [Upgrade error codes](upgrade-error-codes.md#result-codes) and [Resolution procedures](resolution-procedures.md#modern-setup-errors) topics in this article.

# BitLocker and Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) FAQ
**Applies to**
- Windows 10
## What type of information is stored in AD DS?
Stored information | Description
-------------------|------------
Hash of the TPM owner password | Beginning with Windows 10, the password hash is not stored in AD DS by default. The password hash can be stored only if the TPM is owned and the ownership was taken by using components of Windows 8.1 or earlier, such as the BitLocker Setup Wizard or the TPM snap-in.
BitLocker recovery password | The recovery password allows you to unlock and access the drive in the event of a recovery incident. Domain administrators can view the BitLocker recovery password by using the BitLocker Recovery Password Viewer. For more information about this tool, see [BitLocker: Use BitLocker Recovery Password Viewer](bitlocker-use-bitlocker-recovery-password-viewer.md).
BitLocker key package | The key package helps to repair damage to the hard disk that would otherwise prevent standard recovery. Using the key package for recovery requires the BitLocker Repair Tool, Repair-bde.
## What if BitLocker is enabled on a computer before the computer has joined the domain?
If BitLocker is enabled on a drive before Group Policy has been applied to enforce backup, the recovery information will not be automatically backed up to AD DS when the computer joins the domain or when Group Policy is subsequently applied. However, you can use the **Choose how BitLocker-protected operating system drives can be recovered**, **Choose how BitLocker-protected fixed drives can be recovered** and **Choose how BitLocker-protected removable drives can be recovered** Group Policy settings to require that the computer be connected to a domain before BitLocker can be enabled to help ensure that recovery information for BitLocker-protected drives in your organization is backed up to AD DS.
For more info, see [BitLocker Group Policy settings](bitlocker-group-policy-settings.md).
The BitLocker Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) interface does allow administrators to write a script to back up or synchronize an online client's existing recovery information; however, BitLocker does not automatically manage this process. The manage-bde command-line tool can also be used to manually back up recovery information to AD DS. For example, to back up all of the recovery information for the C: drive to AD DS, you would use the following command from an elevated command prompt: **manage-bde -protectors -adbackup C:**.
> [!IMPORTANT]  
> Joining a computer to the domain should be the first step for new computers within an organization. After computers are joined to a domain, storing the BitLocker recovery key to AD DS is automatic (when enabled in Group Policy).
 
## Is there an event log entry recorded on the client computer to indicate the success or failure of the Active Directory backup?
Yes, an event log entry that indicates the success or failure of an Active Directory backup is recorded on the client computer. However, even if an event log entry says "Success," the information could have been subsequently removed from AD DS, or BitLocker could have been reconfigured in such a way that the Active Directory information can no longer unlock the drive (such as by removing the recovery password key protector). In addition, it is also possible that the log entry could be spoofed.
Ultimately, determining whether a legitimate backup exists in AD DS requires querying AD DS with domain administrator credentials by using the BitLocker password viewer tool.
## If I change the BitLocker recovery password on my computer and store the new password in AD DS, will AD DS overwrite the old password?
No. By design, BitLocker recovery password entries do not get deleted from AD DS; therefore, you might see multiple passwords for each drive. To identify the latest password, check the date on the object.
## What happens if the backup initially fails? Will BitLocker retry the backup?
If the backup initially fails, such as when a domain controller is unreachable at the time when the BitLocker setup wizard is run, BitLocker does not try again to back up the recovery information to AD DS.
When an administrator selects the **Require BitLocker backup to AD DS** check box of the **Store BitLocker recovery information in Active Directory Domain Service (Windows 2008 and Windows Vista)** policy setting, or the equivalent **Do not enable BitLocker until recovery information is stored in AD DS for (operating system | fixed data | removable data) drives** check box in any of the **Choose how BitLocker-protected operating system drives can be recovered**, **Choose how BitLocker-protected fixed data drives can be recovered**, **Choose how BitLocker-protected removable data drives can be recovered** policy settings, this prevents users from enabling BitLocker unless the computer is connected to the domain and the backup of BitLocker recovery information to AD DS succeeds. With these settings configured if the backup fails, BitLocker cannot be enabled, ensuring that administrators will be able to recover BitLocker-protected drives in the organization.
For more info, see [BitLocker Group Policy settings](bitlocker-group-policy-settings.md).
When an administrator clears these check boxes, the administrator is allowing a drive to be BitLocker-protected without having the recovery information successfully backed up to AD DS; however, BitLocker will not automatically retry the backup if it fails. Instead, administrators can create a script for the backup, as described earlier in [What if BitLocker is enabled on a computer before the computer has joined the domain?](#what-if-bitlocker-is-enabled-on-a-computer-before-the-computer-has-joined-the-domain) to capture the information after connectivity is restored.

# BitLocker Deployment and Administration FAQ
**Applies to**
- Windows 10
## Can BitLocker deployment be automated in an enterprise environment?
Yes, you can automate the deployment and configuration of BitLocker and the TPM using either WMI or Windows PowerShell scripts. How you choose to implement the scripts depends on your environment. You can also use Manage-bde.exe to locally or remotely configure BitLocker. For more info about writing scripts that use the BitLocker WMI providers, see [BitLocker Drive Encryption Provider](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=80600). For more info about using Windows PowerShell cmdlets with BitLocker Drive Encryption, see [BitLocker Cmdlets in Windows PowerShell](https://docs.microsoft.com/powershell/module/bitlocker/index?view=win10-ps).
## Can BitLocker encrypt more than just the operating system drive?
Yes.
## Is there a noticeable performance impact when BitLocker is enabled on a computer?
Generally it imposes a single-digit percentage performance overhead.
## How long will initial encryption take when BitLocker is turned on?
Although BitLocker encryption occurs in the background while you continue to work, and the system remains usable, encryption times vary depending on the type of drive that is being encrypted, the size of the drive, and the speed of the drive. If you are encrypting very large drives, you may want to set encryption to occur during times when you will not be using the drive.
You can also choose whether or not BitLocker should encrypt the entire drive or just the used space on the drive when you turn on BitLocker. On a new hard drive, encrypting just the used spaced can be considerably faster than encrypting the entire drive. When this encryption option is selected, BitLocker automatically encrypts data as it is saved, ensuring that no data is stored unencrypted.
## What happens if the computer is turned off during encryption or decryption?
If the computer is turned off or goes into hibernation, the BitLocker encryption and decryption process will resume where it stopped the next time Windows starts. This is true even if the power is suddenly unavailable.
## Does BitLocker encrypt and decrypt the entire drive all at once when reading and writing data?
No, BitLocker does not encrypt and decrypt the entire drive when reading and writing data. The encrypted sectors in the BitLocker-protected drive are decrypted only as they are requested from system read operations. Blocks that are written to the drive are encrypted before the system writes them to the physical disk. No unencrypted data is ever stored on a BitLocker-protected drive.
## How can I prevent users on a network from storing data on an unencrypted drive?
You can can Group Policy settings to require that data drives be BitLocker-protected before a BitLocker-protected computer can write data to them. For more info, see [BitLocker Group Policy settings](bitlocker-group-policy-settings.md).
When these policy settings are enabled, the BitLocker-protected operating system will mount any data drives that are not protected by BitLocker as read-only.
## What is Used Disk Space Only encryption?
BitLocker in Windows 10 lets users choose to encrypt just their data. Although it's not the most secure way to encrypt a drive, this option can reduce encryption time by more than 99 percent, depending on how much data that needs to beencrypted. For more information, see [Used Disk Space Only encryption](bitlocker-device-encryption-overview-windows-10.md#used-disk-space-only-encryption).
## What system changes would cause the integrity check on my operating system drive to fail?
The following types of system changes can cause an integrity check failure and prevent the TPM from releasing the BitLocker key to decrypt the protected operating system drive:
- Moving the BitLocker-protected drive into a new computer.
- Installing a new motherboard with a new TPM.
- Turning off, disabling, or clearing the TPM.
- Changing any boot configuration settings.
- Changing the BIOS, UEFI firmware, master boot record, boot sector, boot manager, option ROM, or other early boot components or boot configuration data.
## What causes BitLocker to start into recovery mode when attempting to start the operating system drive?
Because BitLocker is designed to protect your computer from numerous attacks, there are numerous reasons why BitLocker could start in recovery mode.
For example:
- Changing the BIOS boot order to boot another drive in advance of the hard drive.
- Adding or removing hardware, such as inserting a new card in the computer, including some PCMIA wireless cards.
- Removing, inserting, or completely depleting the charge on a smart battery on a portable computer.
In BitLocker, recovery consists of decrypting a copy of the volume master key using either a recovery key stored on a USB flash drive or a cryptographic key derived from a recovery password.
The TPM is not involved in any recovery scenarios, so recovery is still possible if the TPM fails boot component validation, malfunctions, or is removed.
## What can prevent BitLocker from binding to PCR 7?
This happens if a non-Windows OS booted prior to Windows, or if Secure Boot is not available to the device, either because it has been disabled or the hardware does not support it.
## Can I swap hard disks on the same computer if BitLocker is enabled on the operating system drive?
Yes, you can swap multiple hard disks on the same computer if BitLocker is enabled, but only if the hard disks were BitLocker-protected on the same computer. The BitLocker keys are unique to the TPM and operating system drive, so if you want to prepare a backup operating system or data drive for use in case of disk failure, you need to make sure that they were matched with the correct TPM. You can also configure different hard drives for different operating systems and then enable BitLocker on each one with different authentication methods (such as one with TPM-only and one with TPM+PIN) without any conflicts.
## Can I access my BitLocker-protected drive if I insert the hard disk into a different computer?
Yes, if the drive is a data drive, you can unlock it from the **BitLocker Drive Encryption** Control Panel item just as you would any other data drive by using a password or smart card. If the data drive was configured for automatic unlock only, you will have to unlock it by using the recovery key. The encrypted hard disk can be unlocked by a data recovery agent (if one was configured) or it can be unlocked by using the recovery key.
## Why is "Turn BitLocker on" not available when I right-click a drive?
Some drives cannot be encrypted with BitLocker. Reasons a drive cannot be encrypted include insufficient disk size, an incompatible file system, if the drive is a dynamic disk, or a drive is designated as the system partition. By default, the system drive (or system partition) is hidden from display. However, if it is not created as a hidden drive when the operating system was installed due to a custom installation process, that drive might be displayed but cannot be encrypted.
## What type of disk configurations are supported by BitLocker?
Any number of internal, fixed data drives can be protected with BitLocker. On some versions ATA and SATA-based, direct-attached storage devices are also supported.

## Used Disk Space Only encryption
BitLocker in earlier Windows versions could take a long time to encrypt a drive, because it encrypted every byte on the volume (including parts that did not have data). That is still the most secure way to encrypt a drive, especially if a drive has previously contained confidential data that has since been moved or deleted, in which case traces of the confidential data could remain on portions of the drive marked as unused.

But why encrypt a new drive when you can simply encrypt the data as it is being written? To reduce encryption time, BitLocker in Windows 10 lets users choose to encrypt just their data. Depending on the amount of data on the drive, this option can reduce encryption time by more than 99 percent.
Exercise caution when encrypting only used space on an existing volume on which confidential data may have already been stored in an unencrypted state, however, because those sectors can be recovered through disk-recovery tools until they are overwritten by new encrypted data. In contrast, encrypting only used space on a brand-new volume can significantly decrease deployment time without the security risk because all new data will be encrypted as it is written to the disk.

This topic for the IT professional answers frequently asked questions concerning the requirements to use, upgrade, deploy and administer, and key management policies for BitLocker.
BitLocker is a data protection feature that encrypts the hard drives on your computer to provide enhanced protection against data theft or exposure on computers and removable drives that are lost or stolen, and more secure data deletion when BitLocker-protected computers are decommissioned as it is much more difficult to recover deleted data from an encrypted drive than from a non-encrypted drive.

## <a href="" id="bkmk-overview"></a>Overview and requirements
### <a href="" id="bkmk-whatisbitlocker"></a>How does BitLocker work?
**How BitLocker works with operating system drives**
You can use BitLocker to mitigate unauthorized data access on lost or stolen computers by encrypting all user files and system files on the operating system drive, including the swap files and hibernation files, and checking the integrity of early boot components and boot configuration data.
**How BitLocker works with fixed and removable data drives**
You can use BitLocker to encrypt the entire contents of a data drive. You can use Group Policy to require that BitLocker be enabled on a drive before the computer can write data to the drive. BitLocker can be configured with a variety of unlock methods for data drives, and a data drive supports multiple unlock methods.
### <a href="" id="bkmk-multifactorsupport"></a>Does BitLocker support multifactor authentication?
Yes, BitLocker supports multifactor authentication for operating system drives. If you enable BitLocker on a computer that has a TPM version 1.2 or later, you can use additional forms of authentication with the TPM protection.
### <a href="" id="bkmk-hsrequirements"></a>What are the BitLocker hardware and software requirements?
For requirements, see [System requirements](https://technet.microsoft.com/itpro/windows/keep-secure/bitlocker-overview#system-requirements).
> **Note:**  Dynamic disks are not supported by BitLocker. Dynamic data volumes will not be displayed in the Control Panel. Although the operating system volume will always be displayed in the Control Panel, regardless of whether it is a Dynamic disk, if it is a dynamic disk it is cannot be protected by BitLocker.
 
### <a href="" id="bkmk-partitions"></a>Why are two partitions required? Why does the system drive have to be so large?
Two partitions are required to run BitLocker because pre-startup authentication and system integrity verification must occur on a separate partition from the encrypted operating system drive. This configuration helps protect the operating system and the information in the encrypted drive.
### <a href="" id="bkmk-tpmchipsupport"></a>Which Trusted Platform Modules (TPMs) does BitLocker support?
BitLocker supports TPM version 1.2 or higher.
### <a href="" id="bkmk-havetpm"></a>How can I tell if a TPM is on my computer?
Open the TPM MMC console (tpm.msc) and look under the **Status** heading.
### <a href="" id="bkmk-notpm"></a>Can I use BitLocker on an operating system drive without a TPM?
Yes, you can enable BitLocker on an operating system drive without a TPM version 1.2 or higher, if the BIOS or UEFI firmware has the ability to read from a USB flash drive in the boot environment. This is because BitLocker will not unlock the protected drive until BitLocker's own volume master key is first released by either the computer's TPM or by a USB flash drive containing the BitLocker startup key for that computer. However, computers without TPMs will not be able to use the system integrity verification that BitLocker can also provide.
To help determine whether a computer can read from a USB device during the boot process, use the BitLocker system check as part of the BitLocker setup process. This system check performs tests to confirm that the computer can properly read from the USB devices at the appropriate time and that the computer meets other BitLocker requirements.
### <a href="" id="bkmk-biossupport"></a>How do I obtain BIOS support for the TPM on my computer?
Contact the computer manufacturer to request a Trusted Computing Group (TCG)-compliant BIOS or UEFI boot firmware that meets the following requirements:
- It is compliant with the TCG standards for a client computer.
- It has a secure update mechanism to help prevent a malicious BIOS or boot firmware from being installed on the computer.
### <a href="" id="bkmk-privs"></a>What credentials are required to use BitLocker?
To turn on, turn off, or change configurations of BitLocker on operating system and fixed data drives, membership in the local **Administrators** group is required. Standard users can turn on, turn off, or change configurations of BitLocker on removable data drives.
### <a href="" id="bkmk-bootorder"></a>What is the recommended boot order for computers that are going to be BitLocker-protected?
You should configure the startup options of your computer to have the hard disk drive first in the boot order, before any other drives such ach as CD/DVD drives or USB drives. If the hard disk is not first and you typically boot from hard disk, then a boot order change may be detected or assumed when removable media is found during boot. The boot order typically affects the system measurement that is verified by BitLocker and a change in boot order will cause you to be prompted for your BitLocker recovery key. For the same reason, if you have a laptop with a docking station, ensure that the hard disk drive is first in the boot order both when docked and undocked. 
## <a href="" id="bkmk-upgrading"></a>Upgrading
### <a href="" id="bkmk-upgradev27"></a>Can I upgrade to Windows 10 with BitLocker enabled?
Yes.
### <a href="" id="bkmk-disabledecrypt"></a>What is the difference between suspending and decrypting BitLocker?
**Decrypt** completely removes BitLocker protection and fully decrypts the drive.
**Suspend** keeps the data encrypted but encrypts the BitLocker volume master key with a clear key. The clear key is a cryptographic key stored unencrypted and unprotected on the disk drive. By storing this key unencrypted, the **Suspend** option allows for changes or upgrades to the computer without the time and cost of decrypting and re-encrypting the entire drive. After the changes are made and BitLocker is again enabled, BitLocker will reseal the encryption key to the new values of the measured components that changed as a part of the upgrade, the volume master key is changed, the protectors are updated to match and the clear key is erased.
### <a href="" id="bkmk-decryptfirst"></a>Do I have to decrypt my BitLocker-protected drive to download and install system updates and upgrades?
No user action is required for BitLocker in order to apply updates from Microsoft, including [Windows quality updates and feature updates](https://technet.microsoft.com/itpro/windows/manage/waas-quick-start).
Users need to suspend BitLocker for Non-Microsoft software updates, such as:
- Computer manufacturer firmware updates
- TPM firmware updates
- Non-Microsoft application updates that modify boot components
> **Note:**  If you have suspended BitLocker, you can resume BitLocker protection after you have installed the upgrade or update. Upon resuming protection, BitLocker will reseal the encryption key to the new values of the measured components that changed as a part of the upgrade or update. If these types of upgrades or updates are applied without suspending BitLocker, your computer will enter recovery mode when restarting and will require a recovery key or password to access the computer.
 
## <a href="" id="bkmk-deploy"></a>Deployment and administration
### <a href="" id="bkmk-automate"></a>Can BitLocker deployment be automated in an enterprise environment?
Yes, you can automate the deployment and configuration of BitLocker and the TPM using either WMI or Windows PowerShell scripts. How you choose to implement the scripts depends on your environment. You can also use Manage-bde.exe to locally or remotely configure BitLocker. For more info about writing scripts that use the BitLocker WMI providers, see [BitLocker Drive Encryption Provider](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=80600). For more info about using Windows PowerShell cmdlets with BitLocker Drive Encryption, see [BitLocker Cmdlets in Windows PowerShell](http://technet.microsoft.com/library/jj649829.aspx).
### <a href="" id="bkmk-os"></a>Can BitLocker encrypt more than just the operating system drive?
Yes.
### <a href="" id="bkmk-performance"></a>Is there a noticeable performance impact when BitLocker is enabled on a computer?
Generally it imposes a single-digit percentage performance overhead.
### <a href="" id="bkmk-longencrypt"></a>How long will initial encryption take when BitLocker is turned on?
Although BitLocker encryption occurs in the background while you continue to work, and the system remains usable, encryption times vary depending on the type of drive that is being encrypted, the size of the drive, and the speed of the drive. If you are encrypting very large drives, you may want to set encryption to occur during times when you will not be using the drive.
You can also choose whether or not BitLocker should encrypt the entire drive or just the used space on the drive when you turn on BitLocker. On a new hard drive, encrypting just the used spaced can be considerably faster than encrypting the entire drive. When this encryption option is selected, BitLocker automatically encrypts data as it is saved, ensuring that no data is stored unencrypted.
### <a href="" id="bkmk-turnoff"></a>What happens if the computer is turned off during encryption or decryption?
If the computer is turned off or goes into hibernation, the BitLocker encryption and decryption process will resume where it stopped the next time Windows starts. This is true even if the power is suddenly unavailable.
### <a href="" id="bkmk-entiredisk"></a>Does BitLocker encrypt and decrypt the entire drive all at once when reading and writing data?
No, BitLocker does not encrypt and decrypt the entire drive when reading and writing data. The encrypted sectors in the BitLocker-protected drive are decrypted only as they are requested from system read operations. Blocks that are written to the drive are encrypted before the system writes them to the physical disk. No unencrypted data is ever stored on a BitLocker-protected drive.
### <a href="" id="bkmk-dataunencryptpart"></a>How can I prevent users on a network from storing data on an unencrypted drive?
You can can Group Policy settings to require that data drives be BitLocker-protected before a BitLocker-protected computer can write data to them. For more info, see [BitLocker Group Policy settings](bitlocker-group-policy-settings.md).
When these policy settings are enabled, the BitLocker-protected operating system will mount any data drives that are not protected by BitLocker as read-only.
### <a href="" id="bkmk-integrityfail"></a>What system changes would cause the integrity check on my operating system drive to fail?
The following types of system changes can cause an integrity check failure and prevent the TPM from releasing the BitLocker key to decrypt the protected operating system drive:
- Moving the BitLocker-protected drive into a new computer.
- Installing a new motherboard with a new TPM.
- Turning off, disabling, or clearing the TPM.
- Changing any boot configuration settings.
- Changing the BIOS, UEFI firmware, master boot record, boot sector, boot manager, option ROM, or other early boot components or boot configuration data.
### <a href="" id="bkmk-examplesosrec"></a>What causes BitLocker to start into recovery mode when attempting to start the operating system drive?
Because BitLocker is designed to protect your computer from numerous attacks, there are numerous reasons why BitLocker could start in recovery mode.
For example:
- Changing the BIOS boot order to boot another drive in advance of the hard drive.
- Adding or removing hardware, such as inserting a new card in the computer, including some PCMIA wireless cards.
- Removing, inserting, or completely depleting the charge on a smart battery on a portable computer.
In BitLocker, recovery consists of decrypting a copy of the volume master key using either a recovery key stored on a USB flash drive or a cryptographic key derived from a recovery password.
The TPM is not involved in any recovery scenarios, so recovery is still possible if the TPM fails boot component validation, malfunctions, or is removed.
### <a href="" id="bkmk-driveswap"></a>Can I swap hard disks on the same computer if BitLocker is enabled on the operating system drive?
Yes, you can swap multiple hard disks on the same computer if BitLocker is enabled, but only if the hard disks were BitLocker-protected on the same computer. The BitLocker keys are unique to the TPM and operating system drive, so if you want to prepare a backup operating system or data drive for use in case of disk failure, you need to make sure that they were matched with the correct TPM. You can also configure different hard drives for different operating systems and then enable BitLocker on each one with different authentication methods (such as one with TPM-only and one with TPM+PIN) without any conflicts.
### <a href="" id="bkmk-altpc"></a>Can I access my BitLocker-protected drive if I insert the hard disk into a different computer?
Yes, if the drive is a data drive, you can unlock it from the **BitLocker Drive Encryption** Control Panel item just as you would any other data drive by using a password or smart card. If the data drive was configured for automatic unlock only, you will have to unlock it by using the recovery key. The encrypted hard disk can be unlocked by a data recovery agent (if one was configured) or it can be unlocked by using the recovery key.
### <a href="" id="bkmk-noturnon"></a>Why is "Turn BitLocker on" not available when I right-click a drive?
Some drives cannot be encrypted with BitLocker. Reasons a drive cannot be encrypted include insufficient disk size, an incompatible file system, if the drive is a dynamic disk, or a drive is designated as the system partition. By default, the system drive (or system partition) is hidden from display. However, if it is not created as a hidden drive when the operating system was installed due to a custom installation process, that drive might be displayed but cannot be encrypted.
### <a href="" id="bkmk-r2disks"></a>What type of disk configurations are supported by BitLocker?
Any number of internal, fixed data drives can be protected with BitLocker. On some versions ATA and SATA-based, direct-attached storage devices are also supported.
## <a href="" id="bkmk-keymanagement"></a>Key management
### <a href="" id="bkmk-key"></a>What is the difference between a recovery password, recovery key, PIN, enhanced PIN, and startup key?
For tables that list and describe elements such as a recovery password, recovery key, and PIN, see [BitLocker key protectors](prepare-your-organization-for-bitlocker-planning-and-policies.md#bitlocker-key-protectors) and [BitLocker authentication methods](prepare-your-organization-for-bitlocker-planning-and-policies.md#bitlocker-authentication-methods).
### <a href="" id="bkmk-recoverypass"></a>How can the recovery password and recovery key be stored?
The recovery password and recovery key for an operating system drive or a fixed data drive can be saved to a folder, saved to one or more USB devices, saved to your Microsoft Account, or printed.
For removable data drives, the recovery password and recovery key can be saved to a folder, saved to your Microsoft Account, or printed. By default, you cannot store a recovery key for a removable drive on a removable drive.
A domain administrator can additionally configure Group Policy to automatically generate recovery passwords and store them in Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) for any BitLocker-protected drive.
### <a href="" id="bkmk-enableauthwodecrypt"></a>Is it possible to add an additional method of authentication without decrypting the drive if I only have the TPM authentication method enabled?
You can use the Manage-bde.exe command-line tool to replace your TPM-only authentication mode with a multifactor authentication mode. For example, if BitLocker is enabled with TPM authentication only and you want to add PIN authentication, use the following commands from an elevated command prompt, replacing *&lt;4-20 digit numeric PIN&gt;* with the numeric PIN you want to use:
`manage-bde –protectors –delete %systemdrive% -type tpm`
`manage-bde –protectors –add %systemdrive% -tpmandpin <4-20 digit numeric PIN>`
### <a href="" id="bkmk-add-auth"></a> When should an additional method of authentication be considered?
New hardware that meets [Windows Hardware Compatibility Program](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows-hardware/design/compatibility/) requirements make a PIN less critical as a mitigation, and having a TPM-only protector is likely sufficient when combined with policies like device lockout. For example, Surface Pro and Surface Book do not have external DMA ports to attack.
For older hardware, where a PIN may be needed, it’s recommended to enable [enhanced PINs](bitlocker-group-policy-settings.md#bkmk-unlockpol2) that allow non-numeric characters such as letters and punctuation marks, and to set the PIN length based on your risk tolerance and the hardware anti-hammering capabilities available to the TPMs in your computers.
### <a href="" id="bkmk-recoveryinfo"></a>If I lose my recovery information, will the BitLocker-protected data be unrecoverable?
BitLocker is designed to make the encrypted drive unrecoverable without the required authentication. When in recovery mode, the user needs the recovery password or recovery key to unlock the encrypted drive.
>**Important:**  Store the recovery information in AD DS, along with your Microsoft Account, or another safe location.
 
### <a href="" id="bkmk-usbdrive"></a>Can the USB flash drive that is used as the startup key also be used to store the recovery key?
While this is technically possible, it is not a best practice to use one USB flash drive to store both keys. If the USB flash drive that contains your startup key is lost or stolen, you also lose access to your recovery key. In addition, inserting this key would cause your computer to automatically boot from the recovery key even if TPM-measured files have changed, which circumvents the TPM's system integrity check.
### <a href="" id="bkmk-startupkey"></a>Can I save the startup key on multiple USB flash drives?
Yes, you can save a computer's startup key on multiple USB flash drives. Right-clicking a BitLocker-protected drive and selecting **Manage BitLocker** will provide you the options to duplicate the recovery keys as needed.
### <a href="" id="bkmk-multikeyoneusb"></a>Can I save multiple (different) startup keys on the same USB flash drive?
Yes, you can save BitLocker startup keys for different computers on the same USB flash drive.
### <a href="" id="bkmk-multikey"></a>Can I generate multiple (different) startup keys for the same computer?
You can generate different startup keys for the same computer through scripting. However, for computers that have a TPM, creating different startup keys prevents BitLocker from using the TPM's system integrity check.
### <a href="" id="bkmk-multipin"></a>Can I generate multiple PIN combinations?
You cannot generate multiple PIN combinations.
### <a href="" id="bkmk-encryptkeys"></a>What encryption keys are used in BitLocker? How do they work together?
Raw data is encrypted with the full volume encryption key, which is then encrypted with the volume master key. The volume master key is in turn encrypted by one of several possible methods depending on your authentication (that is, key protectors or TPM) and recovery scenarios.
### <a href="" id="bkmk-keystorage"></a>Where are the encryption keys stored?
The full volume encryption key is encrypted by the volume master key and stored in the encrypted drive. The volume master key is encrypted by the appropriate key protector and stored in the encrypted drive. If BitLocker has been suspended, the clear key that is used to encrypt the volume master key is also stored in the encrypted drive, along with the encrypted volume master key.
This storage process ensures that the volume master key is never stored unencrypted and is protected unless you disable BitLocker. The keys are also saved to two additional locations on the drive for redundancy. The keys can be read and processed by the boot manager.
### <a href="" id="bkmk-funckey"></a>Why do I have to use the function keys to enter the PIN or the 48-character recovery password?
The F1 through F10 keys are universally mapped scan codes available in the pre-boot environment on all computers and in all languages. The numeric keys 0 through 9 are not usable in the pre-boot environment on all keyboards.
When using an enhanced PIN, users should run the optional system check during the BitLocker setup process to ensure that the PIN can be entered correctly in the pre-boot environment.
### <a href="" id="bkmk-youbrute"></a>How does BitLocker help prevent an attacker from discovering the PIN that unlocks my operating system drive?
It is possible that a personal identification number (PIN) can be discovered by an attacker performing a brute force attack. A brute force attack occurs when an attacker uses an automated tool to try different PIN combinations until the correct one is discovered. For BitLocker-protected computers, this type of attack, also known as a dictionary attack, requires that the attacker have physical access to the computer.
The TPM has the built-in ability to detect and react to these types of attacks. Because different manufacturers' TPMs may support different PIN and attack mitigations, contact your TPM's manufacturer to determine how your computer's TPM mitigates PIN brute force attacks.
After you have determined your TPM's manufacturer, contact the manufacturer to gather the TPM's vendor-specific information. Most manufacturers use the PIN authentication failure count to exponentially increase lockout time to the PIN interface. However, each manufacturer has different policies regarding when and how the failure counter is decreased or reset.
### <a href="" id="bkmk-tpmprov"></a>How can I determine the manufacturer of my TPM?
You can determine your TPM manufacturer in the TPM MMC console (tpm.msc) under the **TPM Manufacturer Information** heading.
### <a href="" id="bkmk-tpmdam"></a>How can I evaluate a TPM's dictionary attack mitigation mechanism?
The following questions can assist you when asking a TPM manufacturer about the design of a dictionary attack mitigation mechanism:
- How many failed authorization attempts can occur before lockout?
- What is the algorithm for determining the duration of a lockout based on the number of failed attempts and any other relevant parameters?
- What actions can cause the failure count and lockout duration to be decreased or reset?
### <a href="" id="bkmk-pinlength"></a>Can PIN length and complexity be managed with Group Policy?
Yes and No. You can configure the minimum personal identification number (PIN) length by using the **Configure minimum PIN length for startup** Group Policy setting and allow the use of alphanumeric PINs by enabling the **Allow enhanced PINs for startup** Group Policy setting. However, you cannot require PIN complexity by Group Policy.
For more info, see [BitLocker Group Policy settings](bitlocker-group-policy-settings.md).
## <a href="" id="bkmk-btgsect"></a>BitLocker To Go
BitLocker To Go is BitLocker Drive Encryption on removable data drives. This includes the encryption of USB flash drives, SD cards, external hard disk drives, and other drives formatted by using the NTFS, FAT16, FAT32, or exFAT file systems.
## <a href="" id="bkmk-adds"></a>Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS)
### What if BitLocker is enabled on a computer before the computer has joined the domain?
If BitLocker is enabled on a drive before Group Policy has been applied to enforce backup, the recovery information will not be automatically backed up to AD DS when the computer joins the domain or when Group Policy is subsequently applied. However, you can use the **Choose how BitLocker-protected operating system drives can be recovered**, **Choose how BitLocker-protected fixed drives can be recovered** and **Choose how BitLocker-protected removable drives can be recovered** Group Policy settings to require that the computer be connected to a domain before BitLocker can be enabled to help ensure that recovery information for BitLocker-protected drives in your organization is backed up to AD DS.
For more info, see [BitLocker Group Policy settings](bitlocker-group-policy-settings.md).
The BitLocker Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) interface does allow administrators to write a script to back up or synchronize an online client's existing recovery information; however, BitLocker does not automatically manage this process. The manage-bde command-line tool can also be used to manually back up recovery information to AD DS. For example, to back up all of the recovery information for the C: drive to AD DS, you would use the following command from an elevated command prompt: **manage-bde -protectors -adbackup C:**.
>**Important:**  Joining a computer to the domain should be the first step for new computers within an organization. After computers are joined to a domain, storing the BitLocker recovery key to AD DS is automatic (when enabled in Group Policy).
 
### <a href="" id="bkmk-addseventlog"></a>Is there an event log entry recorded on the client computer to indicate the success or failure of the Active Directory backup?
Yes, an event log entry that indicates the success or failure of an Active Directory backup is recorded on the client computer. However, even if an event log entry says "Success," the information could have been subsequently removed from AD DS, or BitLocker could have been reconfigured in such a way that the Active Directory information can no longer unlock the drive (such as by removing the recovery password key protector). In addition, it is also possible that the log entry could be spoofed.
Ultimately, determining whether a legitimate backup exists in AD DS requires querying AD DS with domain administrator credentials by using the BitLocker password viewer tool.
### <a href="" id="bkmk-refresh"></a>If I change the BitLocker recovery password on my computer and store the new password in AD DS, will AD DS overwrite the old password?
No. By design, BitLocker recovery password entries do not get deleted from AD DS; therefore, you might see multiple passwords for each drive. To identify the latest password, check the date on the object.
### <a href="" id="bkmk-adbackupfails"></a>What happens if the backup initially fails? Will BitLocker retry the backup?
If the backup initially fails, such as when a domain controller is unreachable at the time when the BitLocker setup wizard is run, BitLocker does not try again to back up the recovery information to AD DS.
When an administrator selects the **Require BitLocker backup to AD DS** check box of the **Store BitLocker recovery information in Active Directory Domain Service (Windows 2008 and Windows Vista)** policy setting, or the equivalent **Do not enable BitLocker until recovery information is stored in AD DS for (operating system | fixed data | removable data) drives** check box in any of the **Choose how BitLocker-protected operating system drives can be recovered**, **Choose how BitLocker-protected fixed data drives can be recovered**, **Choose how BitLocker-protected removable data drives can be recovered** policy settings, this prevents users from enabling BitLocker unless the computer is connected to the domain and the backup of BitLocker recovery information to AD DS succeeds. With these settings configured if the backup fails, BitLocker cannot be enabled, ensuring that administrators will be able to recover BitLocker-protected drives in the organization.
For more info, see [BitLocker Group Policy settings](bitlocker-group-policy-settings.md).
When an administrator clears these check boxes, the administrator is allowing a drive to be BitLocker-protected without having the recovery information successfully backed up to AD DS; however, BitLocker will not automatically retry the backup if it fails. Instead, administrators can create a script for the backup, as described earlier in [What if BitLocker is enabled on a computer before the computer has joined the domain?](#what-if-bitlocker-is-enabled-on-a-computer-before-the-computer-has-joined-the-domain) to capture the information after connectivity is restored.
## <a href="" id="bkmk-security"></a>Security
### <a href="" id="bkmk-form"></a>What form of encryption does BitLocker use? Is it configurable?
BitLocker uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) as its encryption algorithm with configurable key lengths of 128 or 256 bits. The default encryption setting is AES-128, but the options are configurable by using Group Policy.
### <a href="" id="bkmk-config"></a>What is the best practice for using BitLocker on an operating system drive?
The recommended practice for BitLocker configuration on an operating system drive is to implement BitLocker on a computer with a TPM version 1.2 or higher and a Trusted Computing Group (TCG)-compliant BIOS or UEFI firmware implementation, plus a PIN. By requiring a PIN that was set by the user in addition to the TPM validation, a malicious user that has physical access to the computer cannot simply start the computer.
### <a href="" id="bkmk-sleep"></a>What are the implications of using the sleep or hibernate power management options?
BitLocker on operating system drives in its basic configuration (with a TPM but without advanced authentication) provides additional security for the hibernate mode. However, BitLocker provides greater security when it is configured to use an advanced authentication mode (TPM+PIN, TPM+USB, or TPM+PIN+USB) with the hibernate mode. This method is more secure because returning from hibernation requires BitLocker authentication. As a best practice, we recommend that sleep mode be disabled and that you use TPM+PIN for the authentication method.
### <a href="" id="bkmk-root"></a>What are the advantages of a TPM?
Most operating systems use a shared memory space and rely on the operating system to manage physical memory. A TPM is a hardware component that uses its own internal firmware and logic circuits for processing instructions, thus shielding it from external software vulnerabilities. Attacking the TPM requires physical access to the computer. Additionally, the tools and skills necessary to attack hardware are often more expensive, and usually are not as available as the ones used to attack software. And because each TPM is unique to the computer that contains it, attacking multiple TPM computers would be difficult and time-consuming.
>**Note:**  Configuring BitLocker with an additional factor of authentication provides even more protection against TPM hardware attacks.
 
## <a href="" id="bkmk-bnusect"></a>BitLocker Network Unlock
BitLocker Network Unlock enables easier management for BitLocker-enabled desktops and servers that use the TPM+PIN protection method in a domain environment. When a computer that is connected to a wired corporate network is rebooted, Network Unlock allows the PIN entry prompt to be bypassed. It automatically unlocks BitLocker-protected operating system volumes by using a trusted key that is provided by the Windows Deployment Services server as its secondary authentication method.
To use Network Unlock you must also have a PIN configured for your computer. When your computer is not connected to the network you will need to provide the PIN to unlock it.
BitLocker Network Unlock has software and hardware requirements for both client computers, Windows Deployment services, and domain controllers that must be met before you can use it.
Network Unlock uses two protectors, the TPM protector and the one provided by the network or by your PIN, whereas automatic unlock uses a single protector, the one stored in the TPM. If the computer is joined to a network without the key protector it will prompt you to enter your PIN. If the PIN is
not available you will need to use the recovery key to unlock the computer if it can not be connected to the network.
For more info, see [BitLocker: How to enable Network Unlock](bitlocker-how-to-enable-network-unlock.md).
## <a href="" id="bkmk-other"></a>Other questions
### <a href="" id="bkmk-kernel"></a>Can I run a kernel debugger with BitLocker?
Yes. However, the debugger should be turned on before enabling BitLocker. Turning on the debugger ensures that the correct measurements are calculated when sealing to the TPM, allowing the computer to start properly. If you need to turn debugging on or off when using BitLocker, be sure to suspend BitLocker first to avoid putting your computer into recovery mode.
### <a href="" id="bkmk-errorreports"></a>How does BitLocker handle memory dumps?
BitLocker has a storage driver stack that ensures memory dumps are encrypted when BitLocker is enabled.
### <a href="" id="bkmk-smart"></a>Can BitLocker support smart cards for pre-boot authentication?
BitLocker does not support smart cards for pre-boot authentication. There is no single industry standard for smart card support in the firmware, and most computers either do not implement firmware support for smart cards, or only support specific smart cards and readers. This lack of standardization makes supporting them very difficult.
### <a href="" id="bkmk-driver"></a>Can I use a non-Microsoft TPM driver?
Microsoft does not support non-Microsoft TPM drivers and strongly recommends against using them with BitLocker. Attempting to use a non-Microsoft TPM driver with BitLocker may cause BitLocker to report that a TPM is not present on the computer and not allow the TPM to be used with BitLocker.
### <a href="" id="bkmk-mbr"></a>Can other tools that manage or modify the master boot record work with BitLocker?
We do not recommend modifying the master boot record on computers whose operating system drives are BitLocker-protected for a number of security, reliability, and product support reasons. Changes to the master boot record (MBR) could change the security environment and prevent the computer from starting normally, as well as complicate any efforts to recover from a corrupted MBR. Changes made to the MBR by anything other than Windows might force the computer into recovery mode or prevent it from booting entirely.
### <a href="" id="bkmk-syschkfail"></a>Why is the system check failing when I am encrypting my operating system drive?
The system check is designed to ensure your computer's BIOS or UEFI firmware is compatible with BitLocker and that the TPM is working correctly. The system check can fail for several reasons:
- The computer's BIOS or UEFI firmware cannot read USB flash drives.
- The computer's BIOS, uEFI firmware, or boot menu does not have reading USB flash drives enabled.
- There are multiple USB flash drives inserted into the computer.
- The PIN was not entered correctly.
- The computer's BIOS or UEFI firmware only supports using the function keys (F1–F10) to enter numerals in the pre-boot environment.
- The startup key was removed before the computer finished rebooting.
- The TPM has malfunctioned and fails to unseal the keys.
### <a href="" id="bkmk-usbkeyfail"></a>What can I do if the recovery key on my USB flash drive cannot be read?
Some computers cannot read USB flash drives in the pre-boot environment. First, check your BIOS or UEFI firmware and boot settings to ensure that the use of USB drives is enabled. If it is not enabled, enable the use of USB drives in the BIOS or UEFI firmware and boot settings and then try to read the recovery key from the USB flash drive again. If it still cannot be read, you will have to mount the hard drive as a data drive on another computer so that there is an operating system to attempt to read the recovery key from the USB flash drive. If the USB flash drive has been corrupted or damaged, you may need to supply a recovery password or use the recovery information that was backed up to AD DS. Also, if you are using the recovery key in the pre-boot environment, ensure that the drive is formatted by using the NTFS, FAT16, or FAT32 file system.
### <a href="" id="bkmk-usbkeynosave"></a>Why am I unable to save my recovery key to my USB flash drive?
The **Save to USB** option is not shown by default for removable drives. If the option is unavailable, it means that a system administrator has disallowed the use of recovery keys.
### <a href="" id="bkmk-noautounlock"></a>Why am I unable to automatically unlock my drive?
Automatic unlocking for fixed data drives requires that the operating system drive also be protected by BitLocker. If you are using a computer that does not have a BitLocker-protected operating system drive, the drive cannot be automatically unlocked. For removable data drives, you can add automatic unlocking by right-clicking the drive in Windows Explorer and clicking **Manage BitLocker**. You will still be able to use the password or smart card credentials you supplied when you turned on BitLocker to unlock the removable drive on other computers.
### <a href="" id="bkmk-blsafemode"></a>Can I use BitLocker in Safe Mode?
Limited BitLocker functionality is available in Safe Mode. BitLocker-protected drives can be unlocked and decrypted by using the **BitLocker Drive Encryption** Control Panel item. Right-clicking to access BitLocker options from Windows Explorer is not available in Safe Mode.
### <a href="" id="bkmk-lockdata"></a>How do I "lock" a data drive?
Both fixed and removable data drives can be locked by using the Manage-bde command-line tool and the –lock command.
>**Note:**  Ensure all data is saved to the drive before locking it. Once locked, the drive will become inaccessible.
 
The syntax of this command is:
`manage-bde <driveletter> -lock`
Outside of using this command, data drives will be locked on shutdown and restart of the operating system. A removable data drive will also be locked automatically when the drive is removed from the computer.
### <a href="" id="bkmk-shadowcopy"></a>Can I use BitLocker with the Volume Shadow Copy Service?
Yes. However, shadow copies made prior to enabling BitLocker will be automatically deleted when BitLocker is enabled on software-encrypted drives. If you are using a hardware encrypted drive, the shadow copies are retained.
### <a href="" id="bkmk-vhd"></a>Does BitLocker support virtual hard disks (VHDs)?
BitLocker is not supported on bootable VHDs, but BitLocker is supported on data volume VHDs, such as those used by clusters, if you are running Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, or Windows Server 2012 R2.
### <a href="" id="bkmk-VM"></a> Can I use BitLocker with virtual machines (VMs)?
Yes. Password protectors and virtual TPMs can be used with BitLocker to protect virtual machines. VMs can be domain joined, Azure AD-joined, or workplace-joined (in **Settings** under **Accounts** > **Access work or school** > **Connect to work or school** to receive policy. You can enable encryption either while creating the VM or by using other existing management tools such as the BitLocker CSP, or even by using a startup script or logon script delivered by Group Policy. Windows Server 2016 also supports [Shielded VMs and guarded fabric](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows-server/virtualization/guarded-fabric-shielded-vm/guarded-fabric-and-shielded-vms-top-node) to protect VMs from malicious administrators.
This topic links to frequently asked questions about BitLocker. BitLocker is a data protection feature that encrypts drives on your computer to help prevent data theft or exposure. BitLocker-protected computers can also delete data more securely when they are decommissioned because it is much more difficult to recover deleted data from an encrypted drive than from a non-encrypted drive.

# BitLocker Key Management FAQ
**Applies to**
- Windows 10
## How can I authenticate or unlock my removable data drive?
You can unlock removable data drives by using a password, a smart card, or you can configure a SID protector to unlock a drive by using your domain credentials. After you've started encryption, the drive can also be automatically unlocked on a specific computer for a specific user account. System administrators can configure which options are available for users, as well as password complexity and minimum length requirements. To unlock by using a SID protector, use Manage-bde:
<code>Manage-bde -protectors -add e: -sid <i>domain\username</i></code>
## What is the difference between a recovery password, recovery key, PIN, enhanced PIN, and startup key?
For tables that list and describe elements such as a recovery password, recovery key, and PIN, see [BitLocker key protectors](prepare-your-organization-for-bitlocker-planning-and-policies.md#bitlocker-key-protectors) and [BitLocker authentication methods](prepare-your-organization-for-bitlocker-planning-and-policies.md#bitlocker-authentication-methods).
## How can the recovery password and recovery key be stored?
The recovery password and recovery key for an operating system drive or a fixed data drive can be saved to a folder, saved to one or more USB devices, saved to your Microsoft Account, or printed.
For removable data drives, the recovery password and recovery key can be saved to a folder, saved to your Microsoft Account, or printed. By default, you cannot store a recovery key for a removable drive on a removable drive.
A domain administrator can additionally configure Group Policy to automatically generate recovery passwords and store them in Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) for any BitLocker-protected drive.
## Is it possible to add an additional method of authentication without decrypting the drive if I only have the TPM authentication method enabled?
You can use the Manage-bde.exe command-line tool to replace your TPM-only authentication mode with a multifactor authentication mode. For example, if BitLocker is enabled with TPM authentication only and you want to add PIN authentication, use the following commands from an elevated command prompt, replacing *4-20 digit numeric PIN* with the numeric PIN you want to use:
<code>manage-bde –protectors –delete %systemdrive% -type tpm</code>
<code>manage-bde –protectors –add %systemdrive% -tpmandpin <i>4-20 digit numeric PIN</i></code>
## When should an additional method of authentication be considered?
New hardware that meets [Windows Hardware Compatibility Program](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows-hardware/design/compatibility/) requirements make a PIN less critical as a mitigation, and having a TPM-only protector is likely sufficient when combined with policies like device lockout. For example, Surface Pro and Surface Book do not have external DMA ports to attack.
For older hardware, where a PIN may be needed, it’s recommended to enable [enhanced PINs](bitlocker-group-policy-settings.md#bkmk-unlockpol2) that allow non-numeric characters such as letters and punctuation marks, and to set the PIN length based on your risk tolerance and the hardware anti-hammering capabilities available to the TPMs in your computers.
## If I lose my recovery information, will the BitLocker-protected data be unrecoverable?
BitLocker is designed to make the encrypted drive unrecoverable without the required authentication. When in recovery mode, the user needs the recovery password or recovery key to unlock the encrypted drive.
> [!IMPORTANT]  
> Store the recovery information in AD DS, along with your Microsoft Account, or another safe location.
 
## Can the USB flash drive that is used as the startup key also be used to store the recovery key?
While this is technically possible, it is not a best practice to use one USB flash drive to store both keys. If the USB flash drive that contains your startup key is lost or stolen, you also lose access to your recovery key. In addition, inserting this key would cause your computer to automatically boot from the recovery key even if TPM-measured files have changed, which circumvents the TPM's system integrity check.
## Can I save the startup key on multiple USB flash drives?
Yes, you can save a computer's startup key on multiple USB flash drives. Right-clicking a BitLocker-protected drive and selecting **Manage BitLocker** will provide you the options to duplicate the recovery keys as needed.
## Can I save multiple (different) startup keys on the same USB flash drive?
Yes, you can save BitLocker startup keys for different computers on the same USB flash drive.
## Can I generate multiple (different) startup keys for the same computer?
You can generate different startup keys for the same computer through scripting. However, for computers that have a TPM, creating different startup keys prevents BitLocker from using the TPM's system integrity check.
## Can I generate multiple PIN combinations?
You cannot generate multiple PIN combinations.
## What encryption keys are used in BitLocker? How do they work together?
Raw data is encrypted with the full volume encryption key, which is then encrypted with the volume master key. The volume master key is in turn encrypted by one of several possible methods depending on your authentication (that is, key protectors or TPM) and recovery scenarios.
## Where are the encryption keys stored?
The full volume encryption key is encrypted by the volume master key and stored in the encrypted drive. The volume master key is encrypted by the appropriate key protector and stored in the encrypted drive. If BitLocker has been suspended, the clear key that is used to encrypt the volume master key is also stored in the encrypted drive, along with the encrypted volume master key.
This storage process ensures that the volume master key is never stored unencrypted and is protected unless you disable BitLocker. The keys are also saved to two additional locations on the drive for redundancy. The keys can be read and processed by the boot manager.
## Why do I have to use the function keys to enter the PIN or the 48-character recovery password?
The F1 through F10 keys are universally mapped scan codes available in the pre-boot environment on all computers and in all languages. The numeric keys 0 through 9 are not usable in the pre-boot environment on all keyboards.
When using an enhanced PIN, users should run the optional system check during the BitLocker setup process to ensure that the PIN can be entered correctly in the pre-boot environment.
## How does BitLocker help prevent an attacker from discovering the PIN that unlocks my operating system drive?
It is possible that a personal identification number (PIN) can be discovered by an attacker performing a brute force attack. A brute force attack occurs when an attacker uses an automated tool to try different PIN combinations until the correct one is discovered. For BitLocker-protected computers, this type of attack, also known as a dictionary attack, requires that the attacker have physical access to the computer.
The TPM has the built-in ability to detect and react to these types of attacks. Because different manufacturers' TPMs may support different PIN and attack mitigations, contact your TPM's manufacturer to determine how your computer's TPM mitigates PIN brute force attacks.
After you have determined your TPM's manufacturer, contact the manufacturer to gather the TPM's vendor-specific information. Most manufacturers use the PIN authentication failure count to exponentially increase lockout time to the PIN interface. However, each manufacturer has different policies regarding when and how the failure counter is decreased or reset.
## How can I determine the manufacturer of my TPM?
You can determine your TPM manufacturer in **Windows Defender Security Center** > **Device Security** > **Security processor details**.
## How can I evaluate a TPM's dictionary attack mitigation mechanism?
The following questions can assist you when asking a TPM manufacturer about the design of a dictionary attack mitigation mechanism:
- How many failed authorization attempts can occur before lockout?
- What is the algorithm for determining the duration of a lockout based on the number of failed attempts and any other relevant parameters?
- What actions can cause the failure count and lockout duration to be decreased or reset?
## Can PIN length and complexity be managed with Group Policy?
Yes and No. You can configure the minimum personal identification number (PIN) length by using the **Configure minimum PIN length for startup** Group Policy setting and allow the use of alphanumeric PINs by enabling the **Allow enhanced PINs for startup** Group Policy setting. However, you cannot require PIN complexity by Group Policy.
For more info, see [BitLocker Group Policy settings](bitlocker-group-policy-settings.md).

# BitLocker Network Unlock FAQ
**Applies to**
- Windows 10
BitLocker Network Unlock enables easier management for BitLocker-enabled desktops and servers that use the TPM+PIN protection method in a domain environment. When a computer that is connected to a wired corporate network is rebooted, Network Unlock allows the PIN entry prompt to be bypassed. It automatically unlocks BitLocker-protected operating system volumes by using a trusted key that is provided by the Windows Deployment Services server as its secondary authentication method.
To use Network Unlock you must also have a PIN configured for your computer. When your computer is not connected to the network you will need to provide the PIN to unlock it.
BitLocker Network Unlock has software and hardware requirements for both client computers, Windows Deployment services, and domain controllers that must be met before you can use it.
Network Unlock uses two protectors, the TPM protector and the one provided by the network or by your PIN, whereas automatic unlock uses a single protector, the one stored in the TPM. If the computer is joined to a network without the key protector it will prompt you to enter your PIN. If the PIN is
not available you will need to use the recovery key to unlock the computer if it can ot be connected to the network.
For more info, see [BitLocker: How to enable Network Unlock](bitlocker-how-to-enable-network-unlock.md).

# BitLocker Overview and Requirements FAQ
**Applies to**
- Windows 10
## How does BitLocker work?
**How BitLocker works with operating system drives**
You can use BitLocker to mitigate unauthorized data access on lost or stolen computers by encrypting all user files and system files on the operating system drive, including the swap files and hibernation files, and checking the integrity of early boot components and boot configuration data.
**How BitLocker works with fixed and removable data drives**
You can use BitLocker to encrypt the entire contents of a data drive. You can use Group Policy to require that BitLocker be enabled on a drive before the computer can write data to the drive. BitLocker can be configured with a variety of unlock methods for data drives, and a data drive supports multiple unlock methods.
## Does BitLocker support multifactor authentication?
Yes, BitLocker supports multifactor authentication for operating system drives. If you enable BitLocker on a computer that has a TPM version 1.2 or later, you can use additional forms of authentication with the TPM protection.
## What are the BitLocker hardware and software requirements?
For requirements, see [System requirements](bitlocker-overview.md#system-requirements).
> [!NOTE]  
> Dynamic disks are not supported by BitLocker. Dynamic data volumes will not be displayed in the Control Panel. Although the operating system volume will always be displayed in the Control Panel, regardless of whether it is a Dynamic disk, if it is a dynamic disk it is cannot be protected by BitLocker.
 
## Why are two partitions required? Why does the system drive have to be so large?
Two partitions are required to run BitLocker because pre-startup authentication and system integrity verification must occur on a separate partition from the encrypted operating system drive. This configuration helps protect the operating system and the information in the encrypted drive.
## Which Trusted Platform Modules (TPMs) does BitLocker support?
BitLocker supports TPM version 1.2 or higher.
## How can I tell if a TPM is on my computer?
Beginning with Windows 10, version 1803, you can check TPM status in **Windows Defender Security Center** > **Device Security** > **Security processor details**. In previous versions of Windows, open the TPM MMC console (tpm.msc) and look under the **Status** heading.
## Can I use BitLocker on an operating system drive without a TPM?
Yes, you can enable BitLocker on an operating system drive without a TPM version 1.2 or higher, if the BIOS or UEFI firmware has the ability to read from a USB flash drive in the boot environment. This is because BitLocker will not unlock the protected drive until BitLocker's own volume master key is first released by either the computer's TPM or by a USB flash drive containing the BitLocker startup key for that computer. However, computers without TPMs will not be able to use the system integrity verification that BitLocker can also provide.
To help determine whether a computer can read from a USB device during the boot process, use the BitLocker system check as part of the BitLocker setup process. This system check performs tests to confirm that the computer can properly read from the USB devices at the appropriate time and that the computer meets other BitLocker requirements.
## How do I obtain BIOS support for the TPM on my computer?
Contact the computer manufacturer to request a Trusted Computing Group (TCG)-compliant BIOS or UEFI boot firmware that meets the following requirements:
- It is compliant with the TCG standards for a client computer.
- It has a secure update mechanism to help prevent a malicious BIOS or boot firmware from being installed on the computer.
## What credentials are required to use BitLocker?
To turn on, turn off, or change configurations of BitLocker on operating system and fixed data drives, membership in the local **Administrators** group is required. Standard users can turn on, turn off, or change configurations of BitLocker on removable data drives.
## What is the recommended boot order for computers that are going to be BitLocker-protected?
You should configure the startup options of your computer to have the hard disk drive first in the boot order, before any other drives such ach as CD/DVD drives or USB drives. If the hard disk is not first and you typically boot from hard disk, then a boot order change may be detected or assumed when removable media is found during boot. The boot order typically affects the system measurement that is verified by BitLocker and a change in boot order will cause you to be prompted for your BitLocker recovery key. For the same reason, if you have a laptop with a docking station, ensure that the hard disk drive is first in the boot order both when docked and undocked.

# BitLocker Security FAQ
**Applies to**
- Windows 10
## What form of encryption does BitLocker use? Is it configurable?
BitLocker uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) as its encryption algorithm with configurable key lengths of 128 or 256 bits. The default encryption setting is AES-128, but the options are configurable by using Group Policy.
## What is the best practice for using BitLocker on an operating system drive?
The recommended practice for BitLocker configuration on an operating system drive is to implement BitLocker on a computer with a TPM version 1.2 or higher and a Trusted Computing Group (TCG)-compliant BIOS or UEFI firmware implementation, plus a PIN. By requiring a PIN that was set by the user in addition to the TPM validation, a malicious user that has physical access to the computer cannot simply start the computer.
## What are the implications of using the sleep or hibernate power management options?
BitLocker on operating system drives in its basic configuration (with a TPM but without advanced authentication) provides additional security for the hibernate mode. However, BitLocker provides greater security when it is configured to use an advanced authentication mode (TPM+PIN, TPM+USB, or TPM+PIN+USB) with the hibernate mode. This method is more secure because returning from hibernation requires BitLocker authentication. As a best practice, we recommend that sleep mode be disabled and that you use TPM+PIN for the authentication method.
## What are the advantages of a TPM?
Most operating systems use a shared memory space and rely on the operating system to manage physical memory. A TPM is a hardware component that uses its own internal firmware and logic circuits for processing instructions, thus shielding it from external software vulnerabilities. Attacking the TPM requires physical access to the computer. Additionally, the tools and skills necessary to attack hardware are often more expensive, and usually are not as available as the ones used to attack software. And because each TPM is unique to the computer that contains it, attacking multiple TPM computers would be difficult and time-consuming.
> [!NOTE]  
> Configuring BitLocker with an additional factor of authentication provides even more protection against TPM hardware attacks.

# BitLocker Upgrading FAQ
**Applies to**
- Windows 10
## Can I upgrade to Windows 10 with BitLocker enabled?
Yes.
## What is the difference between suspending and decrypting BitLocker?
**Decrypt** completely removes BitLocker protection and fully decrypts the drive.
**Suspend** keeps the data encrypted but encrypts the BitLocker volume master key with a clear key. The clear key is a cryptographic key stored unencrypted and unprotected on the disk drive. By storing this key unencrypted, the **Suspend** option allows for changes or upgrades to the computer without the time and cost of decrypting and re-encrypting the entire drive. After the changes are made and BitLocker is again enabled, BitLocker will reseal the encryption key to the new values of the measured components that changed as a part of the upgrade, the volume master key is changed, the protectors are updated to match and the clear key is erased.
## Do I have to decrypt my BitLocker-protected drive to download and install system updates and upgrades?
No user action is required for BitLocker in order to apply updates from Microsoft, including [Windows quality updates and feature updates](https://technet.microsoft.com/itpro/windows/manage/waas-quick-start).
Users need to suspend BitLocker for Non-Microsoft software updates, such as:
- Computer manufacturer firmware updates
- TPM firmware updates
- Non-Microsoft application updates that modify boot components
> [!NOTE]  
> If you have suspended BitLocker, you can resume BitLocker protection after you have installed the upgrade or update. Upon resuming protection, BitLocker will reseal the encryption key to the new values of the measured components that changed as a part of the upgrade or update. If these types of upgrades or updates are applied without suspending BitLocker, your computer will enter recovery mode when restarting and will require a recovery key or password to access the computer.

# Using BitLocker with other programs FAQ
**Applies to**
- Windows 10
## Can I use EFS with BitLocker?
Yes, you can use Encrypting File System (EFS) to encrypt files on a BitLocker-protected drive. BitLocker helps protect the entire operating system drive against offline attacks, whereas EFS can provide additional user-based file level encryption for security separation between multiple users of the same computer. You can also use EFS in Windows to encrypt files on other drives that are not encrypted by BitLocker. The root secrets of EFS are stored by default on the operating system drive; therefore, if BitLocker is enabled for the operating system drive, data that is encrypted by EFS on other drives is also indirectly protected by BitLocker.
## Can I run a kernel debugger with BitLocker?
Yes. However, the debugger should be turned on before enabling BitLocker. Turning on the debugger ensures that the correct measurements are calculated when sealing to the TPM, allowing the computer to start properly. If you need to turn debugging on or off when using BitLocker, be sure to suspend BitLocker first to avoid putting your computer into recovery mode.
## How does BitLocker handle memory dumps?
BitLocker has a storage driver stack that ensures memory dumps are encrypted when BitLocker is enabled.
## Can BitLocker support smart cards for pre-boot authentication?
BitLocker does not support smart cards for pre-boot authentication. There is no single industry standard for smart card support in the firmware, and most computers either do not implement firmware support for smart cards, or only support specific smart cards and readers. This lack of standardization makes supporting them very difficult.
## Can I use a non-Microsoft TPM driver?
Microsoft does not support non-Microsoft TPM drivers and strongly recommends against using them with BitLocker. Attempting to use a non-Microsoft TPM driver with BitLocker may cause BitLocker to report that a TPM is not present on the computer and not allow the TPM to be used with BitLocker.
## Can other tools that manage or modify the master boot record work with BitLocker?
We do not recommend modifying the master boot record on computers whose operating system drives are BitLocker-protected for a number of security, reliability, and product support reasons. Changes to the master boot record (MBR) could change the security environment and prevent the computer from starting normally, as well as complicate any efforts to recover from a corrupted MBR. Changes made to the MBR by anything other than Windows might force the computer into recovery mode or prevent it from booting entirely.
## Why is the system check failing when I am encrypting my operating system drive?
The system check is designed to ensure your computer's BIOS or UEFI firmware is compatible with BitLocker and that the TPM is working correctly. The system check can fail for several reasons:
- The computer's BIOS or UEFI firmware cannot read USB flash drives.
- The computer's BIOS, uEFI firmware, or boot menu does not have reading USB flash drives enabled.
- There are multiple USB flash drives inserted into the computer.
- The PIN was not entered correctly.
- The computer's BIOS or UEFI firmware only supports using the function keys (F1–F10) to enter numerals in the pre-boot environment.
- The startup key was removed before the computer finished rebooting.
- The TPM has malfunctioned and fails to unseal the keys.
## What can I do if the recovery key on my USB flash drive cannot be read?
Some computers cannot read USB flash drives in the pre-boot environment. First, check your BIOS or UEFI firmware and boot settings to ensure that the use of USB drives is enabled. If it is not enabled, enable the use of USB drives in the BIOS or UEFI firmware and boot settings and then try to read the recovery key from the USB flash drive again. If it still cannot be read, you will have to mount the hard drive as a data drive on another computer so that there is an operating system to attempt to read the recovery key from the USB flash drive. If the USB flash drive has been corrupted or damaged, you may need to supply a recovery password or use the recovery information that was backed up to AD DS. Also, if you are using the recovery key in the pre-boot environment, ensure that the drive is formatted by using the NTFS, FAT16, or FAT32 file system.
## Why am I unable to save my recovery key to my USB flash drive?
The **Save to USB** option is not shown by default for removable drives. If the option is unavailable, it means that a system administrator has disallowed the use of recovery keys.
## Why am I unable to automatically unlock my drive?
Automatic unlocking for fixed data drives requires that the operating system drive also be protected by BitLocker. If you are using a computer that does not have a BitLocker-protected operating system drive, the drive cannot be automatically unlocked. For removable data drives, you can add automatic unlocking by right-clicking the drive in Windows Explorer and clicking **Manage BitLocker**. You will still be able to use the password or smart card credentials you supplied when you turned on BitLocker to unlock the removable drive on other computers.
## Can I use BitLocker in Safe Mode?
Limited BitLocker functionality is available in Safe Mode. BitLocker-protected drives can be unlocked and decrypted by using the **BitLocker Drive Encryption** Control Panel item. Right-clicking to access BitLocker options from Windows Explorer is not available in Safe Mode.
## How do I "lock" a data drive?
Both fixed and removable data drives can be locked by using the Manage-bde command-line tool and the –lock command.
> [!NOTE]  
> Ensure all data is saved to the drive before locking it. Once locked, the drive will become inaccessible.
 
The syntax of this command is:
<code>manage-bde <i>driveletter</i> -lock</code>
Outside of using this command, data drives will be locked on shutdown and restart of the operating system. A removable data drive will also be locked automatically when the drive is removed from the computer.
## Can I use BitLocker with the Volume Shadow Copy Service?
Yes. However, shadow copies made prior to enabling BitLocker will be automatically deleted when BitLocker is enabled on software-encrypted drives. If you are using a hardware encrypted drive, the shadow copies are retained.
## Does BitLocker support virtual hard disks (VHDs)?
BitLocker is not supported on bootable VHDs, but BitLocker is supported on data volume VHDs, such as those used by clusters, if you are running Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, or Windows Server 2012 R2.
## Can I use BitLocker with virtual machines (VMs)?
Yes. Password protectors and virtual TPMs can be used with BitLocker to protect virtual machines. VMs can be domain joined, Azure AD-joined, or workplace-joined (in **Settings** under **Accounts** > **Access work or school** > **Connect** to receive policy. You can enable encryption either while creating the VM or by using other existing management tools such as the BitLocker CSP, or even by using a startup script or logon script delivered by Group Policy. Windows Server 2016 also supports [Shielded VMs and guarded fabric](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows-server/virtualization/guarded-fabric-shielded-vm/guarded-fabric-and-shielded-vms-top-node) to protect VMs from malicious administrators.

- Your employees won't have their work otherwise interrupted while switching between personal and enterprise apps while the enterprise policies are in place. Switching environments or signing in multiple times isn’t required.
### WIP-protection modes
### <a href="" id="bkmk-modes"></a>WIP-protection modes
Enterprise data is automatically encrypted after it’s loaded on a device from an enterprise source or if an employee marks the data as corporate. Then, when the enterprise data is written to disk, WIP uses the Windows-provided Encrypting File System (EFS) to protect it and associate it with your enterprise identity.
Your WIP policy includes a list of trusted apps that are allowed to access and process corporate data. This list of apps is implemented through the [AppLocker](/windows/device-security/applocker/applocker-overview) functionality, controlling what apps are allowed to run and letting the Windows operating system know that the apps can edit corporate data. Apps included on this list don’t have to be modified to open corporate data because their presence on the list allows Windows to determine whether to grant them access. However, new for Windows 10, app developers can use a new set of application programming interfaces (APIs) to create *enlightened* apps that can use and edit both enterprise and personal data. A huge benefit to working with enlightened apps is that dual-use apps, like Microsoft Word, can be used with less concern about encrypting personal data by mistake because the APIs allow the app to determine whether data is owned by the enterprise or if it’s personally owned.

# Fine-tune Windows Information Protection (WIP) with WIP Learning
**Applies to:**
- Windows 10, version 1703 and later
- Windows 10 Mobile, version 1703 and later
With WIP Learning, you can intelligently tune which apps and websites are included in your WIP policy to help reduce disruptive prompts and keep it accurate and relevant. WIP Learning generates two reports: The **App learning report** and the **Website learning report**. Both reports are accessed from Microsoft Azure Intune, and you can alternately access the App learning report from Microsoft Operations Management Suite (OMS).
The **App learning report** monitors your apps, not in policy, that attempt to access work data. You can identify these apps using the report and add them to your WIP policies to avoid productivity disruption before fully enforcing WIP with [“Hide overrides”](protect-enterprise-data-using-wip.md#bkmk-modes) mode. Frequent monitoring of the report will help you continuously identify access attempts so you can update your policy accordingly.
In the **Website learning report**, you can view a summary of the devices that have shared work data with websites. You can use this information to determine which websites should be added to group and user WIP policies. The summary shows which website URLs are accessed by WIP-enabled apps so you can decide which ones are cloud or personal, and add them to the resource list.
## Access the WIP Learning reports
1. Open the [Azure portal](http://https://portal.azure.com/). Choose **All services**. Type **Intune** in the text box filter.
2. Choose **Intune** > **Mobile Apps**.
3. Choose **App protection status**.
4. Choose **Reports**.
![Image showing the UI path to the WIP report](images/access-wip-learning-report.png)
5. Finally, select either **App learning report for Windows Information Protection**, or **Website learning report for Windows Information Protection**.
![Image showing the UI with for app and website learning reports](images/wip-learning-select-report.png)
Once you have the apps and websites showing up in the WIP Learning logging reports, you can decide whether to add them to your app protection policies. Next, we'll look at how to do that in Operations Management Suite (OMS).
## View the WIP app learning report in Microsoft Operations Management Suite
From Intune, you can open OMS by choosing **WIP in the OMS console**. Then you can view the WIP App learning blade to monitor access events per app, and devices that have reported WIP access events:
![View in Intune of the link to OMS](images/wip-in-oms-console-link.png)
If you don't have OMS linked to your Microsoft Azure Account, and want to configure your environment for Windows Analytics: Device Health, see [Get Started with Device Health](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/deployment/update/device-health-get-started) for more information.
>[!NOTE]
>Intune has a 14 day data retention capacity, while OMS offers better querying capabilities and longer data retention.
Once you have WIP policies in place, by using the WIP section of Device Health, you can:
- Reduce disruptive prompts by adding rules to allow data sharing from approved apps.
- Tune WIP rules by confirming that certain apps are allowed or denied by current policy.
![Main Windows Information Protection view](images/oms-wip-app-learning-tile.png)
The **APP LEARNING** tile shows details of app statistics that you can use to evaluate each incident and update app policies by using WIP AppIDs.
![Details view](images/WIPNEW1-chart-selected-sterile.png)
In this chart view, you can see apps that have been used on connected devices which, when clicked on, will open additional details on the app, including details you need to adjust your WIP Policy:
![Details view for a specific app](images/WIPappID-sterile.png)
Here, you can copy the **WipAppid** and use it to adjust your WIP protection policies.
## Use OMS and Intune to adjust WIP protection policy
1. Click the **APP LEARNING** tile in OMS, as described above, to determine which apps are being used for work so you can add those you choose to your WIP policy.
2. Click the app you want to add to your policy and copy the publisher information from the app details screen.
3. Back in Intune, click **App protection policies** and then choose the app policy you want to add an application to.
4. Click **Protected apps**, and then click **Add Apps**.
5. In the **Recommended apps** drop down menu, choose either **Store apps** or **Desktop apps**, depending on the app you've chosen (for example, an executable (EXE) is a desktop app).
![View of drop down menu for Store or desktop apps](images/wip-learning-choose-store-or-desktop-app.png)
6. In **NAME** (optional), type the name of the app, and then in **PUBLISHER** (required), paste the publisher information that you copied in step 2 above.
![View of Add Apps app info entry boxes](images/wip-learning-app-info.png)
7. Type the name of the product in **PRODUCT NAME** (required) (this will probably be the same as what you typed for **NAME**).
8. Back in OMS, copy the name of the executable (for example, snippingtool.exe) and then go back to Intune and paste it in **FILE** (required).
9. Go back to OMS one more time and note the version number of the app and type it in **MIN VERSION** in Intune (alternately, you can specify the max version, but one or the other is required), and then select the **ACTION**: **Allow** or **Deny**
When working with WIP-enabled apps and WIP-unknown apps, it is recommended that you start with **Silent** or **Allow overrides** while verifying with a small group that you have the right apps on your allowed apps list. After you're done, you can change to your final enforcement policy, **Hide overrides**.

### Best practices
1. It is often advisable to set **Domain member: Maximum machine account password age** to about 30 days.
2. If the machine's password has expired, it will no longer be able to authenticate with the domain. The easiest way to get authentication working again might require removing the device from the domain and then re-joining it. For this reason, some organizations create a special organizational unit (OU) for computers that are prebuilt and then stored for later use or shipped to remote locations, and change the value to more than 30 days.
It is often advisable to set **Domain member: Maximum machine account password age** to about 30 days.
Setting the value to fewer days can increase replication and impact domain controllers. For example, in Windows NT domains, machine passwords were changed every 7 days. The additional replication churn would impact domain controllers in large organizations with many computers or slow links between sites.

# Windows Defender Device Guard with AppLocker
Although [AppLocker](applocker/applocker-overview.md) is not considered a new Windows Defender Device Guard feature, it complements Windows Defender Device Guard functionality when Windows Defender Application Control (WDAC) cannot be fully implemented or its functionality does not cover every desired scenario.
There are many scenarios in which WDAC would be used alongside AppLocker rules.
As a best practice, you should enforce WDAC at the most restrictive level possible for your organization, and then you can use AppLocker to fine-tune the restrictions to an even lower level.
> [!NOTE]
> One example of how Windows Defender Device Guard functionality can be enhanced by AppLocker is when you want to apply different policies for different users on the same device. For example, you may allow your IT support personnel to run additional apps that you do not allow for your end-users. You can accomplish this user-specific enforcement by using an AppLocker rule.
AppLocker and Windows Defender Device Guard should run side-by-side in your organization, which offers the best of both security features at the same time and provides the most comprehensive security to as many devices as possible.
In addition to these features, we recommend that you continue to maintain an enterprise antivirus solution for a well-rounded enterprise security portfolio.

If an incriminated entity is seen in another machine, the Automated investigation will expand the investigation to include that machine and a generic machine playbook will start on that machine. If 10 or more machines are found during this expansion process from the same entity, then that expansion action will require an approval and will be seen in the **Pending actions** view.
### How threats are remediated
Depending on how you set up the machine groups and their level of automation, the Automated investigation will either automaticlly remediate threats or require user approval (this is the default). For more information, see [Create and manage machine groups](machine-groups-windows-defender-advanced-threat-protection.md).

For more information, see [Create and manage machine groups](machine-groups-windows-defender-advanced-threat-protection.md).
The default machine group is configured for semi-automatic remediation. This means that any malicious entity that needs to be remediated requires an approval and the investigation is added to the **Pending actions** section, this can be changed to fully automatic so that no user approval is needed.
