Windows 10: Bitlocker recover key not uploaded to Microsoft account

There was a hardware issue with my laptop and now its is asking for the bitlocker recovery key on bootup. The machine has not had bitlocker specifically enabled so I'm assuming it was done automatically once I had signed into my microsoft account. When I logon to my microsoft account I can see the device but it tells me "You don't have any BitLocker recovery keys uploaded to your Microsoft account.". How could this be. I'm totally screwed. I've been locked out by data encryption I never enabled.

BitLocker key not uploaded

Trying to find my BitLocker key.

System shows I don't have BitLocker key uploaded to my Microsoft Account

 

Bitlocker key can not be found in the microsoft account

After a regular update of Windows my Notebook asked me for the Bitlocker Key although I never activated this. The device is listed in my account but in the list of keys it's not.

Simply doing a reset is definitely not an option, the data is needed.

Every single suggestion for how to find the key is absolutely useless so far.
