Thank you, I felt hesitant to press anything further because I wasn’t sure what it meant.
The situation occurred because the BIOS identified a hardware change during setup and enabled TPM, which then causes it to lock encrypted boot drives. This behavior is normal on new builds but can be problematic if you don’t need it. Activating TPM by default is unnecessary and considered a mistake, though it’s required for Windows 11. Recent BIOS versions have made this feature more prominent.
