    Laptop will not boot up after Jan 2021 update


    Help! After a recent Windows 10 update, my Lenovo Yoga X1 laptop will not reboot and I get blue screen asking me for bitlocker recovery key. I NEVER set up bitlocker on this laptop so i do not have a key. What the heck?! Is there ANY way to retrieve my data??!

    :)

    laptop doesnt boot automatically

    This is what happened.

    1. Did a repair install and later disabled hibertnate in CMD.
    2. Enabled legacy option ROM in BIOS.
    3. After a few times startup ( i used the system in such mode for 5 days), changed boot option back to default.
    4. Vola!! It boots automatically to win10 without any keypress. Tested it with many starts to confirm the same.
    5. Re-enabled hibernate option using CMD and later selected Fast Startup.
    6. System booted normally, without the need for any keypress.

    I do not know exactly whether such steps resolved the problem or what else happened, hence cannot suggest above steps.

    Many thanks to all members who helped to troubleshoot problems.
