Maybe I’m suffering a senioritis moment…  Doesn’t Susan generally reference a monthly patching vulnerability summary YouTube video by a third-party vendor?  A guy gives a bit of an executive summary / overview?  I’ve searched the past few DEFCON posts, but can’t find it.  I thought I’d bookmarked it, but perhaps it’s all a dream?

Please correct me if I am wrong. I have yet to sign into my MS account with my new PC. I already have a laptop where I disabled BitLocker a while back and Have been unable to pull up any BitLocker Key associated with my laptop. Now if I were to sign into my MS account on this PC. Should I need to get the recovery key if I am going to disable BitLocker anyway? With this latest post, I am under the assumption that the BitLocker Recovery Key isn’t that important if you disable it.

Rush,

My personal recommendation would be to Uninstall Bitlocker before logging on with a MS account and you’ll have nothing to worry about.

May the Forces of good computing be with you!

The recovery key is created when Bitlocker is enabled so, if it’s never been enabled, there won’t be a key!

I’ll proceed with caution. But in regards to RetiredGeek’s comment to uninstall BitLocker. I have found no such process. BitLocker is either enabled or it isn’t. If I am correct. If after I sign in and BitLocker is enabled. Would I be advised to get the key before disabling it???
