After BSOD recovery, using my bitlocker key, it continues to ask for it on each restart.
What must I do to remove this requirement please?

Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\BitLocker Drive Encryption > Turn Off BitLocker > Reboot
Then if you want to continue to use BitLocker just turn it back on.
