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

A recent Windows security update has caused BitLocker recovery issues for some systems, particularly impacting Intel PCs with Modern Standby support. Microsoft has acknowledged the problem, which may require users to enter a recovery key after a restart. Devices with BitLocker activated by default, like Windows 11 24H2 and onwards, are more susceptible to this bug. IT administrators can prevent the issue for corporate devices, but consumer users should ensure they have their BitLocker password to avoid potential data loss. BitLocker, while a useful security feature, can be challenging for users who are unaware of its activation or how to retrieve the recovery key.
