What are the system requirements for hardware-accelerated BitLocker announced in ignite 2025?
Microsoft has recently announced hardware-accelerated Bitlocker (Ref. Link: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/windows-itpro-blog/announcing-hardware-accelerated-bitlocker/4474609) I would like to know system requirements (Specifically Hardware) that supports this functionality. The article also says below "Coordinate with your suppliers and keep an eye on listings from us and other vendors as PCs become available on the market." But I am unable to find any link for the listing from Microsoft. Does it support all the devices that has TPM 2.0 or does it require any other hardware?
Bitlocker D drive and Recovery after Restart
Hello, I am starting to create an Intune policy to encrypt devices with full disk encryption using BitLocker. So far, The policy works fine for the C drive but not the D drive. Second issue is that upon restart for an encrypted device, A recovery screen shows up and user should use the recovery key to use the device. I need some more understanding about the policy template settings to see what could be causing those behaviors. Current policy settings for reference: BitLocker Require Device Encryption Enabled Allow Warning For Other Disk Encryption Disabled Allow Standard User Encryption Enabled Configure Recovery Password Rotation Refresh on for both Azure AD-joined and hybrid-joined devices Administrative Templates Windows Components > BitLocker Drive Encryption Choose drive encryption method and cipher strength (Windows 10 [Version 1511] and later) Enabled Select the encryption method for removable data drives: AES-CBC 128-bit (default) Select the encryption method for operating system drives: XTS-AES 128-bit (default) Select the encryption method for fixed data drives: XTS-AES 128-bit (default) Provide the unique identifiers for your organization Not configured Windows Components > BitLocker Drive Encryption > Operating System Drives Enforce drive encryption type on operating system drives Enabled Select the encryption type: (Device) Full encryption Require additional authentication at startup Disabled Configure minimum PIN length for startup Not configured Allow enhanced PINs for startup Not configured Disallow standard users from changing the PIN or password Not configured Allow devices compliant with InstantGo or HSTI to opt out of pre-boot PIN.

Microsoft Bitlocker Management from Intune
Howdy Folks! I guess everyone is doing well with the Microsoft as all of you might got inspired much from the session last week held in Las Vegas(Microsoft Inspire)!! Though I missed it everyone badly as I didn't get chance to visit but the questions keep peeping on my head!! Now with the BitLocker issue where I guess someone can answer this as well, So my query is straight as I need to disable or hide this option of getting the Recovery Keys from the End User level as it is a vulnerable for the Admins to provide the Recovery Keys for OS Encryption Disk like given below with an example Bitlocker Keys Available from end user level using my apps.microsoft.com Is there any option from the administrator level from Azure Portal to hide this Keys from the end user side?? Please help me out as customer is seeking help for this!!
