A good or corporate BIOS/etc. updater will do this to avoid requiring a recovery at the next boot
- ranger_danger 5mo ago> Bitlocker can be suspended But the files on the disk must still be decrypted somehow. The key must be stored somewhere. According to this: https://windowsforum.com/threads/pause-bitlocker-before-bios-or-firmware-updates-in-windows-10-11.415353/ https://windowsforum.com/threads/pause-bitlocker-before-bios... > BitLocker is now suspended, which means the drive remains encrypted, but Windows temporarily stores the unlock information so firmware changes won’t immediately trigger recovery.
