Windows 10: No option to SUSPEND Bitlocker - Windows 11 Pro 23H2

A new weirdo: Can't suspend Bitlocker as used to be. No option to do so is listed under Bitlocker Drive Encryption in Control Panel.So, in order to perform a BIOS update, Bitlocker must be tuned OFF and then ON again generating a new recovery key.WHY??????????????????????????

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.

Can you take a screen shot of the bitlocker window?

Also, what happens when you highlight the drive in This PC and go to the Manage tab? There should be some bitlocker options there.

 

Bitlocker encryption suspended - how to restart

It possible that the BitLocker protection was accidentally suspended.

For us to provide you with appropriate resolution, please answer the questions below.

• When did the issue start? Not sure, maybe last week or so
• Were there any changes made on the device? Only a few Win updates
• Are you able to log in to your device? Yes
• Have you tried to resume encryption in the BitLocker Manager?
  The option is not available when I right mouse click or not sure where to look for it
• Can you clarify "on the reboot the TPM commands won't recognize my keyboard"?
  I do the steps to use TPM.MSC to clear out settings and reset password. I get to the reboot screen and no key works on the Surface keyboard I use
