TH2 BROKE HARDWARE ENCRYPTION MECHANISM OF BITLOCKER

Now TH2 BROKE Self-Encrypting BitLocker mechanism of SED SSDs.

I am using Samsung 850 EVO with E-Drive enabled, which enables BitLocker to encrypt the drive within seconds, i.e. only slave keys are changed which can be done within seconds.

I rechecked if its a drive issue but BitLocker worked perfectly in newly installed 10240 version.

In 10586, they introduced XTS-AES by default, I even tried by changing it to AES CBC then also unsuccessfull. I also checked doing it before installing the update which makes it from 10586.0 to 10586.3, IRST driver 14.0 and other notebook drivers.

edit: the error is "The parameter is incorrect"

I am using GPT, so no active partition is required ofcourse
