I have never received one of these screens with this One Neat Trick:
I disabled the TPM in UEFI settings.
Beautiful.
Aren't you using the TPM for full disk encryption, though? Or are you entering your BitLocker Password at every boot?
I use full-disk encryption on my Debian, and I honestly don't see what's wrong with entering your passphrase on boot.
There doesn't have to be anything wrong with it, though I seem to remember that BitLocker isn't all that difficult to break if your passphrase isn't long enough. I just found it a bit weird because unlocking via TPM very much feels like the standard solution under Windows.
also windows 10 requires tpm for passkeys
