Microsoft has confirmed that it had resolved the « 65000 » BitLocker encryption bug that was affecting almost all Windows 11 and 10 client systems. Interestingly, the fix wasn’t deployed recently.
Back in October 2023, Microsoft confirmed an issue that was affecting all Windows client versions, be it on Windows 11 (22H2, 21H2), Windows 10 (22H2, 21H2, and Enterprise LTSC 2019), and later Windows 11 23H2 was consequently affected too. The bug was related to BitLocker CSP encryption reporting. The BitLocker configuration service provider (CSP) is used by the enterprise to manage the encryption of PCs and devices.
« 65000 » error code was being displayed in the « Require Device Encryption » setting on Intune for Mobile Device Management (MDM). The tech giant noted that other than Intune, similar third-party apps may be affected too.
