If you’ve got BitLocker enabled on your computer and you’re seeing unexpected error messages, you can take some comfort in knowing that you are not alone — and also that Microsoft is aware of the issue.
The problem affects some systems with TPMs (Trusted Platform Module), and it results in a message being displayed that reads: “For your security, some settings are managed by your administrator”.

Although Microsoft is yet to reveal the cause of the issue, or give details of a workaround, the fact that it has acknowledged the problem and is looking into it is somewhat reassuring.
In a support document about the BitLocker issue, Microsoft says:
After you enable BitLocker on a PC that is an unmanaged device or that uses the Trusted Platform Module (TPM), you might receive the following message:
For your security, some settings are managed by your administrator.For example, you might unexpectedly see the message in the BitLocker control panel and some other places in Windows.
Just when a fix will be made available is not yet clear, but Microsoft says that it is “working on a resolution and will provide more information when it is available”.
