Powershell bitlocker, cant find path in regedit

Question

When I want to check in my registry for changing keys for bitlocker I don't seem to have this location:

HKLM\\Software\\Policies\\Microsoft\\FVE

The FVE map isn't there. So I also can't change these keys with PowerShell. Its a local computer, not in a domain.

Anyone know how I can solve this?

Answer 1

You need to Edit local group policy. Located here:

Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\BitLocker Drive Encryption\Choose drive encryption method and cipher strength

You will also need to install the MBAM Client in order for that reg hive to appear. Once you enable the GPO and install the MBAM Client you will be able to change what you want within the registry. However, local group policy works just fine in this case.
