Hi,

When I leave the Bitlocker log-in screen inactive for 60 seconds the computer just shuts off. Is this a feature, a bug, or some hardware issue? I already reinstalled Windows.

    This is really a huge deal!! I can confirm this:

    bcdedit /set {bootmgr} bootshutdowndisabled 1

    working on the following system:

    Intel Xeon E3 1231 v3

    Asus H97-Pro (UEFI 2705)

    4x 4096MB Kingston KVR1333D3N9/4G

    Samsung SSD 840 EVO (Firmware EXT0CB6Q) (Hardware Accelerated Encryption)

    ASUS Strix NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970

    Enermax MODU87+ 600W

    Windows 8.1 Pro 64bit

    There is a MSDN page that documents the setting (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa362652%28v=vs.85%29.aspx):

    "BcdLibraryBoolean_BootShutdownDisabled: Disables the 1-minute timer that triggers shutdown on boot error screens, and the F8 menu, on UEFI systems."

    Hello, i have the same shutdown problem , pc shuts down at the bitlocker preboot authentification screen after 2-3 seconds sometimes. My mainboard is ASUS Z97-P with newest BIOS on default settings. I run Windows 10 Pro Version 10.0.14393 with all updates.

    However, when i run the cmd as administrator and type in

    bcdedit /set {bootmgr} bootshutdowndisabled 1

    it says "wrong parameter"

    Can someone help me please?
