  2. Bitlocker asks for a recovery key, but it haven't provided me with one yet

    I had a Bitlocker encrypted system partition (Windows 10). I needed more space on it and I had some spare space at the end of the disk. So, I decrypted the partition, extended it, and enabled Bitlocker again. Bitlocker asked for a PIN, I entered it. Before the actual encryption Bitlocker suggested me to reboot my system in order to check that everything was going to be OK and the enecrypted partition would be accessible. I pressed "OK", my system shut down, turned on again and showed me blue screen where Bitlocker asked me to enter my PIN. I entered it, but then it asked me to also enter my recovery key. The problem is I don't have this recovery key, because Bitlocker haven't provided me with one yet. And as far as I understand, it shouldn't have started encryption at all yet.

    I have another Windows 10 system installed on the same disk (no encryption), so I booted into it, opened Disk Management and that system partition, where I enabled Bitlocker, showed as "Unknown (Bitlocker Encrypted)". It seems that Bitlocker did already encrypted it. But it is not possible, because less than a minute had passed from the moment I turned Bitlocker ON again and entered my PIN to the moment I was asked to enter the recovery key.

    What do I do now?

    Bitlocker Recovery Keys keeps appearing

    Click on the start icon and type bitlocker. Click on the top entry in the list for Manage Bitlocker. In the Window that opens, turn BitLocker off. I noticed that Windows 10 Pro ver 1803, when I installed it on my laptop, encrypted the drive without asking me if I wanted it encrypted or not and I was getting the screen to enter a key after I attempted to install a second boot menu entry.
