Windows 10: Need my computer for class, randomly started booting up “Bitlocker”

Hey everyone, I went to go use my surface today for class and all of a sudden it opens up a screen called “BitLocker” ans its asking for a recovery key. What do I do? I need to get into my class asap and my main laptop/PC is also giving my problems ever since the recent update so I cant use it either.

Need to turn off Bitlocker to install Windows 10

Hi,

We suggest doing the following steps again to resolve the issue. To complete the procedure, make sure that you have the following information:

• You must be able to provide administrative credentials.
• The drive must be BitLocker-protected.

To suspend BitLocker Drive Encryption on an operating system drive, please follow the steps below:

• Click Start, click Control Panel, click
  System and Security, and then click BitLocker Drive Encryption.
• Click Suspend Protection for the operating system drive.
• A message is displayed, informing you that your data will not be protected while BitLocker is suspended and asking if you want to suspend BitLocker Drive Encryption.
  
• Click Yes to continue and suspend BitLocker on the drive.

Let us know how it goes.
