Hi,
I think it has something to do with whether you enable BitLocker.
BitLocker locks the drive if you go into safe-mode. That is a normal function to protect your data.
If you are not asked to enter a recovery key, you may not have BitLocker enabled.
The boot order typically affects the system measurement that is verified by BitLocker and a change in boot order will cause you to be prompted for your BitLocker recovery key. For the same reason, if you have a laptop with a docking station, ensure that the hard disk drive is first in the boot order both when docked and undocked.

Hope above information can help you.
