Windows 10: Windows Defender Offline asking for BitLocker Key

I just had a virus which was successfully detected. Now I wanted to do an offline scan and it is asking for my Bitlocker-Recovery-Key. I can’t find any information that Windows Defender Offline needs the Bitlocker-Recovery-Key. How should I proceed? Should I put the Recovery-Key in?[moved from de-de]

Unable to perform Windows Defender Offline scan with BitLocker encryption turned on

Hello,

I am using password and not USB with unlock key to unlock BitLocker encryption on my computer, but when my computer restarts to perform Windows Defender Offline scan, it requires me to use USB with unlock key to unlock the BitLocker encryption and there
is no other option for me to choose. As a result, I can't unlock my computer and perform the Windows Defender Offline scan now. Does anyone know how to change the unlock option of BitLocker encryption to using password before the Windows Defender Offline scan?

 

Windows Defender Offline Scan Issue With BitLocker And USB Keyboard

Just installed Windows 10 Insider Enterprise 10.0.15063 Build 15063 and found that there was no Health report available in Windows Defender. Looked at some of the suggested fixes and tried to run the offline scan. I have BitLocker set up using a recovery
key that requires typing. However I am unable to use my USB keyboards (I have tried two different ones) to type in the recovery key as none of the keys work whenever the offline scan is scheduled to run. I have no issues typing in the recovery key if no offline
scan has been set to run. Could this be a bug that needs to be fixed.
