    Has anyone else had problems with their computer? After the last update my computer shut down wouldn’t come back on and when it did the only thing I got was the screen that said I need a bit locker recovery number which I can’t find anywhere every time I go in it says that one is not associated with my account, any ideas? Anybody that can help? Apparently Microsoft can’t it just keeps running me around in circles.

    :)

    Hi,

    We suggest doing the following steps again to resolve the issue. To complete the procedure, make sure that you have the following information:

    • You must be able to provide administrative credentials.
    • The drive must be BitLocker-protected.

    • Click Start, click Control Panel, click
      System and Security, and then click BitLocker Drive Encryption.
    • Click Suspend Protection for the operating system drive.
    • A message is displayed, informing you that your data will not be protected while BitLocker is suspended and asking if you want to suspend BitLocker Drive Encryption.
    • Click Yes to continue and suspend BitLocker on the drive.

    Let us know how it goes.
