Windows 10: Bitlocker recovery just keeps looping

I am running Windows 11 on my home PC. This morning, after reboot, the BitLocker recovery page appeared. I looked up my recovery key, entered it, and hot "Continue". The boot screen came back up quickly followed by a screen that says "Automatic Repair -- Your PC did not start correctly". It then gives two options: restart or advanced options. But no matter which option I go with, it ultimately causes the exact same BitLocker recovery key page to appear as before. I have entered my recovery key multiple times now and been back through this loop multiple times. Does anyone know how I can break t
