Windows 10: KB5040442, is causing Bitlocker to request a bitlocker key-

It seems the latest update is causing users to see the "enter bit locker key" to continue... what is in this update, that I can't see from the update history page, that impacts bitlocker or requires bitlocker to request the key? 1: install KB50404422: restart machine.thats it. The machines that we're seeing most impacted by this are HP Pro SFF 400 G9 Desktop PC's..., all of our machines are MDM managed in Intune, via Hybrid enrollment. Once the bitlocker key is entered, all seems to be normal. But, we don't just let anyone have the bitlocker key, so we have to show up to the location, remote
