When I tried booting my device today, I got to the BitLocker Recovery. After entering the key my Surface Pro 3 booted up normally. However, when I rebooted the device I got again into the BitLocker Recovery asking for the key. I was able to stop it by pausing the BitLocker, however now my device isn't encrypted anymore. I cant resume the BitLocker anymore as I get the error: "A compatible Trusted Platform Module (TPM) Security Device cannot be found on this computer."
In tpm.msc I get: Compatible Trusted Platform Module (TPM) cannot be found on this computer. Verify that this computer has a 1.2 TPM or later and it is turned on in the BIOS.
However in my BIOS the TPM is enabled! (Even tried to disable and enable it)
When I activate in the device manager "show hidden devices" I get "Trusted Platform Module 2.0", when I click it I get "Currently, this hardware device is not connected to the computer. (Code 45)"
There have been no Updates to Windows, nor new software installations/software updates!
Thanks for your help, Michael
