    How do I bypass the Bitlocker recovery screen that appeared after a Windows 11 update.


    I have a Lenovo Ideapad 3 with Windows 11. It ran an update and now the Bitlocker recovery screen appeared. I did not enable and do not have the recovery key. I contacted Lenovo and they told me this happens sometimes with Windows 11 and I could pay them $129 to send me media to reinstall. I’m not sure why I have to pay money to fix a Microsoft defect in Windows 11. Please advise how you can help me resolve this without having to pay Lenovo $129.

    :)

    BitLocker Recovery Issues

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    We understand your concern as you are getting BitLocker recovery key prompt, every time you turned on the laptop. We appreciate your effort in troubleshooting the issue.



    Ideally, in Windows 10 BitLocker doesn’t come by default. It could be possible that the BitLocker got enabled during some updates, either Windows update or PC manufacturer update.



    As you have mentioned that you are forced to input the BitLocker recovery key, which is incredibly a tedious process.



    Meanwhile, we would suggest you to disable the secure boot from the BIOS and check if you are able to bypass the BitLocker. Please refer the steps in this article:

    Disabling Secure Boot

    Hi Rick,

    Please follow the suggestions below and check if you are able to boot to your desktop.

    • Places to look for your BitLocker key:
      • On a printout you saved. Look in places you keep important papers.
      • Saved on a USB flash drive. Plug the USB flash drive into your locked PC and follow the instructions. If you saved the key as a text file on the flash drive, use a different computer to read the text file.
      • In your Microsoft account. To get your recovery key, go to
        BitLocker Recovery Keys.

    • Or ask someone for help:
      • Ask someone with administrator privileges on the same PC to unlock it with their key.
      • If your PC is connected to a domain (usually a work or school computer), ask a system administrator for your recovery key

    Hope this helps in resolving the bitlocker recovery keys. Keep us posted on the bitlocker recovery key issues. We are happy to help!
