    Difficulty retrieving Bitlocker key from Microsoft account


    I went to retrieve a key from Microsoft.com account but it's been sitting with the circle spinning for the last 15 minutes. Is this normal? It shouldn't even take that long?

    :)

    Bitlocker recovery key

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    We understand your concern as the PC is locked with BitLocker and you are unable to retrieve the BitLocker Recovery key from your Microsoft account.



    In this situation, we would first suggest you to set the PC to default BIOS settings.



    If you still get the option for BitLocker recovery key, then we would suggest you to refer the below article for managing the security info on your Microsoft account and later retrieve the recovery key.



    Microsoft account security info & verification codes



    Regards,

    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.

    Difficulty retrieving Bitlocker key from Microsoft account

    BitLocker recovery key

    My computer is locked by BitLocker and the recovery key is not showing in the Microsoft account (the device is listed). How can I generate/retrieve the key (I don't have it stored anywhere)?
