Windows 10: Why the newly generate bitlocker key is not in ms acccount even though I was on Linux?! I...

I had previously set up dual boot linux-windows OS two years and also had bitlocker on to encrypt windows C drive which I should not have needed to I think. All was fine that time since I had keys saved to ms account I had set bitlocker key to save to ms that worked! But yesterday I logged onto linux I dont even use linux and should not have had it installed and hovered over the locked icon of c drive on linux and I entered the correct authenthication password to open it but instead a re-encryption took place which unknowingly to me generated new key id for which I need the associated key.

Why the newly generate bitlocker key is not in ms acccount even though I was on Linux?! I am deadlocked.

All was fine that time since I had keys saved to ms account (I had set bitlocker key to save to ms) that worked! But yesterday I logged onto linux (I dont even use linux and should not have had it installed) and hovered over the locked icon of c drive on linux and I entered the correct authenthication password to open it but instead a re-encryption took place which unknowingly to me generated new key id for which I need the associated key. This new key information is not being automatically to my ms account probably I was on Linux?! I cannot find the password. I tried the 'manage-bde' command on CMD prompt but it showed only that key id and no password because I am not in windows so I can not use the cmd within windows.

I am in desperation and anguish since all work files (the entirety of my graduate research) are in windows and not backed to the cloud! My career is in jeopardy it seems!

I'd really appreciate it if you could help!

I cannot find bitlocker recovery key for newly generated key ID (urgent!)

Hi,

I have a dual boot Linux-Windows (I had previously installed Linux OS). I was on Linux OS where I see that the C Drive on Windows OS is encrypted and I was just clicking on it randomly to see if I could unlock it or something but I think doing that generated new key ID because I am locked out of my Windows OS where all my files and work are there. I had previously saved bitlocker keys to my Microsoft account bit I am unable to enter using those keys, and I had no idea there would be a new key ID generated for which I would need a different key to unlock and enter my Windows OS. I tried to find the password (key) associated with the new key ID I have using cmd from advanced options but all I see is just ID under Numerical password and no password!

What should be done?
