Windows 10 KB5058379 Update Triggers BitLocker Recovery on some Devices

On May 13, 2025, Microsoft issued the KB5058379 cumulative update for Windows 10, which has caused some users to encounter unexpected BitLocker recovery prompts following a system restart.
The mandatory Windows 10 KB5058379 update released on May 13, 2025, which fixes five actively exploited zero-day vulnerabilities, has been reported to cause BitLocker recovery prompts on certain devices following installation and reboot.
Certain Lenovo, Dell, and HP devices affected by this issue enter the Windows Recovery Environment BitLocker prompt, with some users reporting that turning off Intel TXT in the BIOS allowed them to successfully boot into Windows again.
A Windows admin reported about six laptops faced intermittent issues requiring BitLocker keys, and Microsoft is aware and working on a resolution but has not publicly acknowledged the problem.
Microsoft recommends testing workarounds like disabling Intel TXT before altering Secure Boot or virtualization settings, as disabling these might affect security and virtualization performance.
