Microsoft has confirmed that some Windows PCs are booting into BitLocker recovery mode following the October 2025 security updates for Windows 10 22H2, Windows 11 24H2, and Windows 11 25H2. The issue primarily affects Intel-based PCs utilizing Modern Standby, which allows background activity during sleep. BitLocker is a security feature designed to encrypt storage drives and may trigger recovery mode due to hardware changes or TPM updates.
