    I guarantee it was because of bitlocker and if you read the instructions on how to retrieve the key it would’ve worked fine

      This is the actual login screen. Not the bit locker recovery screen. Thus, the drive has already been unlocked.

      It relates to how they use the TPM and Windows hello. It appears to be known issue, but without great solutions online.

      The best part is after my fifth or sixth attempt, it said I had to wait two hours before I could try to log into the PC again. In Safe Mode.

      You know, the mode where you might be trying to debug something. Thus, restarting the machine more often than you normally would.

        Windows is just a hostile OS now. The only explanation for its dominance now is mass Stockholm syndrome.
