Zenbook UM425IA 4700U, Bitlocker Recovery Issue

System: Windows 10 Home

========================
Detailed description:
After I bought it, I set it up with my microsoft account and after I start using it, most of the times (and now become always) after I shut it down, the system will turn off then turn back on (without me doing anything on the machine) and it goes to bitlocker recovery blue screen.

After this, I can do 2 things:

a. I look for the recovery key and then insert it, then it will boot again to WIndows (although it will took much longer than normal)
b. Press the power button for 10 seconds and force shutdown. When I turn back on, signing in to system is normal and quick
Then, I check my drive and it doesn't show that I has bitlocker on. I don't seems have any bitlocker apps anyway since the OS is Windows Home.
However, when I check Microsoft Office account, on my asus laptop, I click manage, and can see that it says Bitlocker is ON.
Overall, I can still use the laptop without any issue but it is tiring that everytime (almost) I turned off the machine, it will turn back on automatically then I have to force shut down the computer. It never happens when I boot the machine, it always happen after I shut down.
My question: Is there anyway to solve this problem? 
PS: I just debloat my windows and the system is pretty light and the temperature is getting much cooler now since the background process is less. One Drive is uninstalled as well. At the beginning when purchasing this laptop, if I put it in standard mode, the fan is keep throttling at full pace and the temp is at 80+ degree celcius. After debloat is became 40ish unless I have full load of excel, chrome, etc. However, after debloating windows, it doesn't change a thing for bitlocker recovery. I didn't debloat to cure the bitlocker issue anyway.

BIOS has been upgraded to 10.1.2.306

Anyway, if I don't turn off the fast startup, the bitlocker issue is done. After I shut down, it will not turn the laptop back on by itself.
However, the annoying thing right now after sleep, sometimes to wake up the windows hello infra red is blinking but the screen is blank.
I have tried to increase the v-ram manually but it doesn't fix the issue.
In other article that I saw, Intel Management Engine need to be turned off and the wake from sleep issue is settled however I am using AMD and I don't know what is the equivalent for AMD

You tried disabling encryption in Windows settings right?
