Windows security update triggers BitLocker recovery in some systems — bug mostly impacts Intel PCs with Modern Standby support

SomeoneElse23 It's scary being strongly coerced to an OS that has such problems. MS should be embarrassed and/or scared, especially considering how long win11 has been out. Reply

ravewulf They should be required to notify users about automatic BitLocker encryption on first boot and provide the option to either backup the key somewhere or disable it. Reply

hotaru251 someone needs to file a class action or soemthing as these "bugs" are more and mroe common and thansk to forced updates you dont get a say until its too late. iirc yrs ago didnt some woman succeed in suing em as she lost a lot of data thanks to a forced update? Reply

Gururu I don't have bitlocker activated and recently got 25H2 supposedly with the updates that fixed the dead mouse/keyboard when system repair. Not fixed yet. Make sure you got a bootable win USB which will allow you to use mouse and keyboard while repairing the boot drive. Reply

Microsoft made a hotfix for it after 25H2 cameout, It's fixed with KB5070773 (A lot have problems installing it) Reply

ddoogle rgd1101 said: another reason to have good backup because of MS Yea so a good backup strategy should be implemented in everyone's computer life period.. MS should have no impact on that. I would argue if at this point in our technology history you don't have good backups and lose data for reasons such as a bad MS update like in this scenario that is more on you than them. Updates go bad sometimes it is the nature of the beast especially when MS has to make their OS compatible with literal thousands of different possible configurations.. things tend to go sideways sometimes. now does MS tend to do it more than they should for sure but point still stands Reply

MS does not force updates they just have them on by default, they are always optional, meaning you can easily go and turn them off at any time you choose. With that said not too sure that argument is going to hold water in an actual court my friend Reply

The age of an OS has no bearing on things going sideways during updates.. the only way you prevent this is to never update but in todays climate that isn't the best idea either so unfortunately things like this happen sometimes. make sure you have a good backup plan which everyone should have and its becomes a null point.. still frustrating sure but not the loss of data or end of the world Reply
