  1. Computer (Surface Book 2) requiring a BitLocker recovery key everytime at startup?


    Hello. As of yesterday, everytime I startup my computer (a Surface Book 2), including just waking it from sleep, it requires a BitLocker recovery key. I did not know what BitLocker was until yesterday, although luckily I was able to retrieve my computer's key using another computer. Nevertheless, it is still annoying to type in the 48-letter key each time I startup my computer. Is there any way to permanently turn off BitLocker? When I went into my hard drives, I noticed that my C: drive had a lock on it. Would simply turning this off fix the issue? And if that's the case, why did my C: drive suddenly get a lock on it one day? Thank you.
