Well, even after trying to run a data recovery tool especially for bitlocker, I've had no luck. Time to Nuke. So glad I back up the important stuff. Thank for the help.

It certainly can't protect against somebody that has legitimate access such as a sysadmin, it is designed to protect from unauthorized external access when the PC is either offline or locked.

I can only wish it were that simple. The recovery key is purely numeric.

I use it for security. If somebody runs off with my PC they can't get into anything private. As for cloud storage, it is certainly worth it to use for either backups or multi-location use, but I'm referring to protecting a whole drive rather than wanting portable data.

I Don't have access to another PC right now, I've just tried following a tutorial using dislocker on Linux but it complains that the header can't be read. I think I'm FUBAR. At least everything important has been regularly backed up.

Hello. I ran Bitlocker on a boot partition, everything went fine, I recorded the recovery key. When restarting my PC the Windows bootloader went into recovery mode requesting the backup key. I entered it but received a message saying that I had used the wrong key. I've tried every method to...

No idea why they didn't to begin with, could never find details.

Thank you very much for your answer. That actually strikes me as a bizarre decision given that I always assumed that the bootloader would be an independent component of the boot process and that having it interact with the OS (or multiple OSs) would violate the ideas of compartmentalisation and...

Oops... I should have mentioned that I have read the post on this specific issue, what I'm curious about is what fundamental difference exists between Windows 10 and 11 that would cause this.

Hi folks. I've successfully installed and isolated two installations of Windows 11 on my PC. One for work (Pro) and one for games (Home). I've moved the EFI partition to its own dedicated drive and removed the original and things work flawlessly. I've disabled Fast Startup, and disabled the...

Hello. I have an ASUS Xonar AE sound card. After installing Windows 11 a substantial portion of its functionality has stopped. The card has a great feature that allows you to plug in both speakers and headphones simultaneously and simply click an icon to select where you want the audio sent...

Oops! DISK imaging. 🤭 I disabled word filtering on gboard.

To hell with it. I'll do it. I've got dick imaging software so I'll take a backup or three.
