Laptop TPM + PIN prompt not appearing
4.5
The laptop boots directly to Windows (or recovery) without asking for your PIN.
Symptoms
- No PIN prompt
- Auto-unlock
- Security risk
Possible Causes
- PIN not set
- Policy error
- TPM auto-unlock enabled
Step-by-Step Fix
1
Verify Protectors
Run "manage-bde -protectors -get C:" to see if a PIN is actually required.
2
Check GPO
Ensure "Require startup PIN with TPM" is enforced.
3
Re-add PIN
Remove the TPM protector and add it back with a PIN.
When to See a Technician
If the prompt doesn't appear, the "TPM Only" protector might be active instead of "TPM + PIN".
