Happened to me. My laptop went to Bitlocker mode. At first I didn't understand it, but after a lazy day I found out it was because of an update. And I was sure. My SSD was filled about 70% and I also installed some games, and it just crashed after I turned it on from sleep mode after an hour.

My questions are if I can still safely use my laptop after entering the recovery key, or is it even possible for now? And since I mostly have games and edits in there, not any personal info, I don't really have a problem factory resetting. But after I reset and get the windows updates later, will the same update KB5063878 be installed and cause the crash again?
