Question:

We use BitLocker and WorkSpace One to secure our laptops. Sometimes, when we update the BIOS firmware, some laptops go into recovery mode and need manual key entry. We enabled some BIOS options like Intel TXT, Virtualization, VT Direct I/O, and WSMT to improve the device security in Windows 10\11. We also applied some GPOs to activate VBS, Defender System Guard, and Credential Guard. How do you configure the BIOS and GPOs for BitLocker and these security features in a large-scale environment? Do they make BitLocker more reliable and prevent recovery mode issues?
