Cannot boot into PC after Bitlocker update

Hi Ed,

Thank you for posting in Community.

We understand your concern and we will provide the assistance required to help you resolve the issue.

As you have stated that you are unable to boot unto your PC since the BitLocker Update, I would suggest that you follow the steps below and check.

Step 1:

1. Download Windows 10 Media Creation tool and access Safe Mode with Networking via the tool. To download click on the link below

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

(Refer to the section "Installing Windows 10 using the media creation tool
" in the above article for creating the tool).

2. Start your computer from the installation media. Insert the disk or USB stick and restart your computer. If you see a message asking you to “Press any key to boot from DVD,” do so. If you don’t see the message,
you might need to change the boot order in your computer's BIOS settings so that it first starts from the disk or USB. When you see the 'Install Windows' page, tap or click 'Repair your computer' link to start the Windows Recovery Environment.

3. Refer to article Get to
safe mode and other startup settings in Windows 10 - Windows … to enable Safe Mode with Networking.

Step 2: Uninstall Update

1. Right click on the Start Menu and open Control Panel.

2. Navigate to Programs and Feature and then click on
View Installed Updates from the left menu pane.

3. Click on the update in question and then click on Uninstall to remove the update.

Step 3:

• Use the tool provided in the link below to Hide/block the BitLocker update from your PC.
