Thanks for reading and any input you may have.
I have a Dell laptop running WIndows 11 Pro . It was upgraded from Windows 10 a year ago. It is logging into a LOCAL account and I have never had a Microsoft account logged into it. I'm getting some bsod's which I will detail. It looks like W11 has activated bitlocker... but I cannot find the code because there is not one on the MS account since it has never been logged in.
OK BSOD's - Powering on the laptop, will boot the machine and give me the desktop for 2-10 seconds before it BSOD's. I get one of 4 errors:
reference by pointer
system service exception
kernel security check failure
bad object header
All point to a driver issue, but I cannot address them when it does not stay on more than ten seconds!
I have scanned fully with PC Check and all hardware is good!
I think my next step is to enter Safe Mode and start isolating drivers. The problem is, it wants the bitlocker code, which is not attached to the MS account.
I'm at my wits end attempting to figure out a resolution. any assistance is appreciated.
