Most users report that this particular issue occurs after an unexpected BSOD crash or after a series of default Windows apps have started to malfunction.

BitLocker boot agent got disabled – Most users that encounter this error report using the BitLocker whole-disk encryption. This boot agent is used to unlock user data and the Windows drive before your machine starts loading the rest of files necessary during startup. In the event that the BitLocker boot agent gets disabled or overwritten (this can happen on purpose, by accident or due to 3rd party interference) you might get stuck with “Drive where Windows is installed is locked”.

BCD file is damaged – The “Drive where Windows is installed is locked” error can also occur if the BCD (Boot Configuration Data) file becomes damaged or has the wrong configuration parameters.

The Trusted Platform Module (TPM) has been emptied or reset – Another common scenario when the “Drive where Windows is installed is locked” will occur is if BitLocker uses the hardware encryption chip known as TPM (or Trusted Platform Module). This module is used to manage secret keys used for the encryption process. In the event that the Trusted Platform Module is emptied or cleared, the system will fail to boot.
