Windows 10: Laptop requires BitLocker key, but suddenly my Microsoft account didn’t have it and I lost...

After sudden unexpected system reboot and firmware update, my hard drive got locked and requires BitLocker key. My Microsoft account doesn’t have it, is there by any chance other options for recovering the data from the hard drive or copying it to another drive?

Lost bitlocker recovery key

I have lost my bitlocker recovery key and tried following the recovery steps. I have also searched and tried following the command prompts suggested but none have worked.

 

Bitlocker key can not be found in the microsoft account

After a regular update of Windows my Notebook asked me for the Bitlocker Key although I never activated this. The device is listed in my account but in the list of keys it's not.

Simply doing a reset is definitely not an option, the data is needed.

Every single suggestion for how to find the key is absolutely useless so far.

 

BitLocker suddenly requiring recovery key at every startup

Overnight, I suddenly must enter a BitLocker recovery key at every startup. (Luckily, I have the key.)

How do I make it stop? I barely understand what BitLocker is, much less how to manipulate it. If possible, I am hoping for specific steps to turn this off.

Running Windows 10 Pro. Thank you!
