       I was wondering when a reporter would uncover this.So BitLocker is super secure, right?  Well...  BitLocker recovery keys are backed up to Microsoft's Cloud - and they give them out to law enforcement on request.  Using the BitLocker recovery key, you can just unlock the device without a PIN etc. https://www.forbes.com/sites/thomasbrewster/2026/01/22/microsoft-gave-fbi-keys-to-unlock-bitlocker-encrypted-data/

       It's not just the FBI, btw - MS accepts valid law enforcement request internationally.  Also it's not just BitLocker.

       @GossiTheDog Several concerns added up to make me leave M$ last year. Good decision. Happy and free, this is no concern of mine, and I will just enjoy the afternoon sun. Microsoft is history.
