  1. Windows randomly asking for BitLocker Key


    HiMy laptop is running Win 11 Home 23H2.Yesterday in randomly turned off full battery. I them restarted it and could continue to use it as normally. Today I also used it normally, however when I returned home from and opened the laptop it was just black, which is weird considering I didn't turn it off when I packed it anf it had 80% battery. It also wouldn't turn on anymore. I then held the power key for a few seconds, which didn't do anything. The laptop wouldn't start for like 5 mins. When my patience ran out i hit the laptop with my fist sorry and ta-daa it started up. I could them use

    :)

  2. Bitlocker Randomly Enabled

    Hi,

    On my personal Lenovo laptop, Bitlocker somehow randomly was enabled. I have not enabled it, and I followed the recovery steps without luck. It seems that it was enabled during an update. I logged into my Microsoft account, see that the laptop is listed, but there is no bitlocker key listed. I am at a loss on what the next steps might be for me to be able to log into my computer at this point.
