So microshaft still hasn't fixed the bug where bitlocker enables itself with no user intervention or awareness on a machine with TPM. Meaning if something happens such that you need the recovery key, like a broken update or failed hardware, you're shit out of luck. Normally bitlocker only enables once you sign in with a microshaft account, so the recovery key is stored there. This is the second time I've fresh installed windows on this laptop, and it's the second time it's done this to me.

We had a customer where I used to work have the same thing happen to his machine, but the motherboard died because it was an HP, and its TPM took the recovery key with it before we discovered this bug. He lost everything on the laptop.

TLDR check if you have this shit enabled, especially without a microsoft account, and back your shit up
