Microsoft confirmed that July Patch Tuesday has led some Windows 10/11 and Windows Server systems to present a BitLocker recovery screen on reboot, particularly when Device Encryption is enabled. Affected users will need their BitLocker recovery keys, and Microsoft is investigating the issue; it is unrelated to the recent CrowdStrike incident. Staggered rollouts and deployment rings are recommended to minimize impact.
