You may have lost the USB startup key required to boot the Windows machine. It could a USB flash drive, an external hard drive, or a physical security key. The removable device that you connected might have a security policy or protocol that triggered the issue. I have shown you how to try Linux operating system from a USB flash drive without installing it on the storage drive. BitLocker keenly looks at the boot configuration for new changes and prompts to enter the recovery key. I wanted to test the latest Linux operating system edition from eOS and that may have caused the issue. I inserted a bootable flash drive that had Elementary OS (Linux software) in it. My Windows 11 machine shipped with two USB Type-C ports in the side, and that’s a potential reason for it. Modern Windows laptops have Thunderbolt 3 (TBT) and USB Type-C ports. Let me give you valid reasons why Windows 11 or earlier version is asking for a recovery key. BitLocker made a difference in the Windows 10 or earlier version with its encryption capabilities. We cannot ignore the TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot requirement, which strengthens computer security. Many so-called reviewers have criticized the 2020 software edition for UI uplift and not for functionality. There is no doubt that Windows 11 is a security-focused update, and it is the major upgrade yet. BitLocker is a Microsoft encryption technology, and it protects the computer from various security breaches.
