      This bug was initially created as a copy of Bug #1877721

      I am copying this bug because:

      This bug is still reproducible on rhel 9.2, with fresh installed windows 10 guest.

      Description of problem:
      Bitlocker doesn't start to do encryption with fresh installed Win10 guest. But a reboot of the guest, bitlocker can start encryption.

      Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
      RHEL 8.3
      Kernel: 4.18.0-234.el8.x86_64
      qemu-kvm: qemu-kvm-5.1.0-2.module+el8.3.0+7652+b30e6901.x86_64
      edk2: edk2-ovmf-20200602gitca407c7246bf-3.el8.noarch
      libptms: libtpms-0.7.2-1.20200527git7325acb477.module+el8.3.0+7068+4e1b8df5.x86_64
      swtpm: swtpm-0.3.0-1.20200218git74ae43b.module+el8.3.0+7648+42900458.x86_64

      How reproducible:

      Steps to Reproduce:
      1. Install a win10 guest (q35 + OVMF)
      2. Attach vtpm device to win10 guest
      3. Inside guest vm run commands:

      bdehdcfg -target c: shrink -newdriveletter s: -size 606 -quiet
      manage-bde -on c:

      reboot system as required.

      4. Re-login guest vm after reboot, run command:
      manage-bde -status

      Actual results:
      Encryption is not started
      Pop up dialog with Bitlocker could not be enabled. (see attachment)

      BitLocker Drive Encryption: Configuration Tool version 10.0.19041

      manage-bde -status

      Disk volumes that can be protected with
      BitLocker Drive Encryption:
      Volume C: [Windows]
      [OS Volume]

      Size: 29.62 GB
      BitLocker Version: None
      Conversion Status: Fully Decrypted
      Percentage Encrypted: 0.0%
      Encryption Method: None
      Protection Status: Protection Off
      Lock Status: Unlocked
      Identification Field: None
      Key Protectors: None Found

      Expected results:

      Bitlocker can encrypt win10 guest without issue.

      Additional info:

      This issue only happens with refresh installed win10 guest. When reboot the guest vm again, and repeat the test steps, bitlocker can start disk encryption.
