Windows 10: Win 10 22H2 - KB5034441 Bitlocker update and HD suddenly has bitlocker applied

Here is an odd thing.I have a Surface Book - bought new in 2018. The HD has never been encrypted but today two things happened.1. I noticed that the HD is now bitlocker protected.2. There is a download pending for KB5034441 which is a fix for bitlocker - coincidence?Of course, having never set this I don't have a password, so ran... Manage-bde - protectors -get c: ...for a recovery key just in case something heads south. Question is - has this happened to anyone else?Any idea what could have caused it?

:)

Im happy you resolved it, & without any help to boot *Toast :toast:

C:/"Bitlocker" call uninstall *Laugh :laugh:

HELP: Automatic BitLocker Unlock.

Please help,
Looking for a way( script or maybe some unknown windows command or registry hack) to automatically unlock a non OS BitLocker encrypted drive on Log-In.

My situation: Right now my OS SSD Samsung 840 Evo has a boot password, its not Bios option nor windows eDrive but the third one, the one you need 3rd party software to activate it, had to purchase EMBASSY Security Center to do it.
No issues here, the OS drive is locked and encrypted.

One of My HDD Drives is encrypted with Bitlocker, so every time my PC is booted, I need to enter windows log-in password and then open my computer and enter another password to unlock the drive.
Whats worse is that unlike the SSD that needs unlock password only after full shutdown the Bitlocker needs it every log-in.

Windows has an option to Automaticlly unlock all BitLocker drives on boot, BUT the issue here is that this official option only works if your OS drive is also BitLocker encrypted and then log-in password unlocks everything.

Im looking for maybe a windows Script or some Hidden command to automatically unlock the BitLocker drive.

Even if it Sounds insecure like having the actual password somewhere in the registry, text file or script I dont care because the OS drive is encrypted and passworded.
Also I have a TPM chip I can encrypt any file/folder so even if file is copied from my PC when its fully unlocked the files wont be readable anywhere unless unencrypted before.

If its important im on 8.1 pro 64bit

P.S. If there is no solution for my problem then my only choice is when windows 10 comes out to do a clean install on another Samsung 840 Evo that was previously cleared and eDrive option enabled


Thanks in advance.
