A bug found during the most recent monthly release (October) might cause BitLocker to activate upon a system restart.
If your system has BitLocker activated on Windows 11 25H2, 24H2 or even Windows 10 and you're using Modern Standby or Connected Standby, you could encounter a lock screen prompt requiring the key. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/window...rn-standby https://old.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/commen...4/njlzmwn/ Microsoft notes this issue mainly affects machines with Intel processors. The problem likely began in October's monthly update, KB5066835 for Windows 11 and KB5066791 for Windows 10. Reports suggest some users keep receiving the BitLocker screen even after entering the correct key and unlocking. October’s patch Tuesday updates are intended to be stable, yet this bug has surfaced again. The monthly patch Tuesday builds are meant to be reliable, so why hasn’t a similar flaw been identified earlier? The article highlights that many people are unaware BitLocker is automatically enabled during installation today, and some rely on tools like Rufus instead of using the official installer. They might not realize they’re running with BitLocker active, only to face this unexpected issue. If Microsoft assumes everyone will use BitLocker without clear guidance, it’s surprising it hasn’t been addressed before. I recommend disabling BitLocker whenever possible.
It seems Microsoft doesn’t actually have an exterminator division. Using their vast capabilities could make sense if such a team were needed.
Windows 11 is now stable, believe it. Each week brings another update addressing a major issue impacting most users. Meanwhile, headlines warn of severe problems—batteries overheating, fires, missiles aimed at homes—making people anxious about the latest version.
They might already possess it; they’ve merely used their AI for this purpose.
If Microsoft possessed a pest control division, it would be surprising they haven’t fully removed Windows yet. The core issue remains complex, involving ongoing user needs and technical challenges.
