Windows[English]The security updates KB5083769 and KB5082052 for Windows 11, released on April 14, 2026, are causing BitLocker issues. Microsoft has since confirmed this in updates to the support articles. However, the prompt for the BitLocker recovery key only occurs in specific configurations that are not enabled by default. Details may be read at my German blog post [use the build-in translator to switch the language].
