Microsoft squashes Windows BitLocker recovery bug
Briefly

Microsoft has fixed a significant issue that caused nearly all supported Windows 11 and Windows 10 devices to prompt BitLocker recovery after the July 2024 security update, making clear the importance of device encryption.
Following the CrowdStrike incident, administrators were acutely aware of their BitLocker recovery keys as millions of Windows devices faced operational failures due to a problematic update, highlighting the critical nature of security in updates.
BitLocker technology, although essential for securing user data, has recently led to complications for users and administrators alike, especially highlighted by a previous patch that resulted in confounding error messages linked to recovery partitions.
Microsoft's August 13 update addresses the troubling BitLocker recovery issue caused by July's security update, urging users to install the latest patch for important improvements and resolutions.
