Microsoft has acknowledged an issue affecting users of Windows 10 and Windows 11 who have devices equipped with either a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) or Platform Trust Technology (PTT) on Intel systems. The problem arises when BitLocker, the built-in encryption tool, is activated, leading to users encountering an administrator-related error message.
Specifically, when BitLocker is enabled, affected users may see the message: “For your security, some settings are managed by your administrator.” This notification appears not only within the BitLocker control panel but may also surface in various other locations within the operating system, indicating a broader impact.
