Windows – How to diagnose and fix Starting Bitlocker “Access Denied” message

bitlockerwindows 10

I've been trying to get my C: drive to use BitLocker, but it fails at some initializing step.

Is there a log or some other method that will explain the issue?

I've searched event logs etc.

Are you enabled BitLocker via RDP? If yes, please enable the following group policy: Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Removable Storage Access > All Removable Storage > Allow direct access in remote sessions

If no, try to enable it as an Administrator.

Best Regards
