    SweJorgenMVPI'm 99.9% confident it's not a GP conflict, what is interesting is I originally assigned the Bitlocker policy to a Surface Pro 6 running Windows 10 V1803, I noticed that one of the limitations of the policy on that version is that a standard user is prompted for admin rights when the Bitlocker configuration window starts, as my users do not have these rights (and never should!) I canned the idea. Doing some research it transpired that Window 10 V1809 supports encryption for standard users without any UAC prompts (winning!) however I can't get to the previous stage because this new issue has been introduced. Like I said I don't think it's a policy conflict I think it's just a lack of support within Intune for Bitlocker at this stage, I hope in the coming future they resolve this. Looking online there at multiple mentions of other users encountering this same behaviour for example, https://microsoftintune.uservoice.com/forums/291681-ideas/suggestions/37175833-enable-use-of-bitlocker-authentication-requiring-p
