#bitlocker

0 Beiträge0 Beteiligte0 Beiträge heute

This looks like a virus.
It's #Microsoft , who has assigned to anyone using Windows something called a #bitlocker key and put it into your Microsoft account. If you have more than one, be sure you can get into them. If you cannot find this key you lose your data.
I'm in a 3rd world country and got locked out. I have a recent Microsoft account-- no key.
It was in an obsolete account not used for 20 years.

And it does 🥳 !
I did take the precaution of disabling temporarily #bitlocker to make sure it picked up the new TPM measurements after the secure boot settings change, and it look like it worked. Definitely keep your bitlocker recovery key nearby though if you do this.

@hkrn Wait, what?

"You can retrieve the BitLocker recovery key by logging into the BitLocker recovery screen portal with your Microsoft account"

So you're telling me, the bitlocker recovery key is uploaded to Microsoft without consent or knowledge?! (I don't use Windows, so I cannot check this.)

That'd be a huge risk - both for companies and individuals: compromised cryptographic keys.

Talking with the folks in the local #vintage / #retrocomputing community, they clued me in that the #ThinkPad #RAID is a steaming pile of 💩 and not worth the trouble.

🤷 Oh well. Thanks for cluing me in

So I swapped out the two testing #NVMe drives I was using and reinstalled the original sticks - to have #windoz10 demanding for the #bitlocker recovery key. 🤦‍♂️

Well, time to wipe & install #windoz11 then.

Install went fine, only 4 rando #drivers to find for all #devices to be recognized and working.

Using my #CTT scripts to install the majority of applications, then to remove the #spyware #bloatware and other garbage #micro$oft added to #windows11

Then migrate my #data from my other ThinkPad. Welcome to my #sunday #funday

So wie es aussieht, werden Admins mit #Windows11 und Trusted Platform Modules noch viel Spaß haben.

Ein #Firmware Update der Firma #STM für ein #TPM in #Dell Laptops führte offenbar dazu, dass der Bestätigungsschlüssel (Endorsement Key) und das Zertifikat für diesen Schlüssel nicht mehr übereinstimmen. Als Folge davon funktioniert #Windows #Autopilot nicht mehr und das TPM muss mit allen bereits installierten Schlüsseln (z.B. #BitLocker) zurückgesetzt werden.
