  1. bitlocker asking for a recovery key after windows updates


    Hi Microsoft,


    bitlocker keeps asking for a recovery key after every monthly windows updates we get on our laptops we use HP and DELL


    the workaround of course is to use the recovery key stored in AD.this isn't a problem when we are dealing with two or three computers but when it starts affecting tens of them it is becoming problematic


    no bios or TPM or third party updates updates were installed and here are the KBS that were installed on the computers

    KB4534293 KB4525237 KB4520008


    can you please look at this as i'm sure we are not the only ones impacted


    thanks

    :)

    Asking for Bitlocker recovery key on login


    So I was playing with BIOS settings for reformatting my laptop and reinstalling Windows using bootable USB drive. I didn't succeed and I probably did something stupid. Now I'm not able to login into my laptop. It's asking me for bitlocker recovery key on both disabled and enabled settings of secure boot.

    On "Enabled" setting, it says "Bitlocker needs your recovery key to unlock your drive because Secure Boot policy has unexpectedly changed."

    On "Disabled" setting, it says "Bitlocker needs your recovery key to unlock your drive because Secure Boot has been disabled. Either Secure Boot must be re-enabled, or Bitlocker must be suspended for Windows to start normally."

    I don't have a recovery key. I don't remember setting one. I even searched for it in my Microsoft account. My device (ASUS X205TA) is listed but the recovery key is not.

    Note that I don't have any useful data in the laptop, so I'd be fine with reinstalling windows even if I loose all the data. I just want to be able to use my laptop again.
