This is because in older versions of Windows the BitLocker driver couldn't be updated with the service disabled, but newer versions have got round this problem. What you do is to hide the update in the Windows update panel (referring to KB2949927). According to the Microsoft tech I have just spoken to, if your BitLocker service is either on manual or disabled, DO NOT enable it!

Will keep an eye out for that one

Be warned, everybody: KB2949927 will fail to install and revert the changes at the next boot if you have BitLocker disabled.
The "fvevol" service must be started, and it must be registered in the "LowerFilters" value under this registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{71a27cdd-812a-11d0-bec7-08002be2092f}
If you don't have it, KB2949927 will fail!
Kind regards.
EDIT: IMPORTANT: I pasted the wrong GUID in my original post, I've edited it with the correct GUID. Please accept my apologies!
Also, the "LowerFilters" value MUST be "REG_MULTI_SZ" type
Looks like Win7 is not the only one affected
Quote Same problem here. KB2949927 fails on Windows Server 2008 R2 with Error Code 0X80004005.
For those that want to test if it works on their system(s) (Make Sure You CREATE a SYSTEM RESTORE POINT prior to installing the (KB2949927) Update
You will find the (KB2949927) Update under the Important section of the updates

Interesting, that update failed for me with an illogical error code. So I just disabled (hid) it as it didn't seem very relevant to me.
Quote from: nozzer What you do is to hide the update in the Windows update panel (referring to KB2949927).
I then did a search on the MS web site and it's standalone downloads have disappeared!
Maybe they've pulled it already and are working on a version that will install OK.

That is interesting
It just came through on mine Approx 30 mins ago (just unticked it for now)
I wonder how many will have theirs set to automatic updates, instead of manual ?

No friends or family use it either (that I know of)
It would be curious from a statistical point of view, to see how many use it worldwide

Quote Improved for Windows 7 and available in the Ultimate and Enterprise editions, BitLocker helps keep everything from documents to passwords safer by encrypting the entire drive that Windows and your data reside on.
You should only have the Enterprise edition in a corporate environment and if you have the "Ultimate" edition it is more likely to be a pirate copy than anything else.

One minor difference was that the Ultimate machine had 2 reboots whereas the Pro machine (this one) only rebooted once!
I wonder why M$ put out the BitLocker update to machines other than Ultimate and Enterprise???
PS - My Ultimate machine is 'street legal' and licenced!
