Current Win11 update fails if the recovery partition doesn’t have enough space. Microsoft says it won’t fix the problem, users have to resize their own partition first.
That’s fine for nerds. Grandma doesn’t know what the fuck a hard disk even is.
(Edit: not sure what the bitlocker problem is in relation to this)
@4am@lemm.ee already explained most of it, Bitlocker comes into play because the recovery environment can be booted without needing to provide the recovery key for Bitlocker, the vulnerability that is being patched additionally allows bypassing the need to log into it.
That said, Microsoft frequently disables Bitlocker anyway to do OS updates, it really only works if you enable the additional pin feature.
What’s this about?
