Hologic would like to bring attention to the following known issue statement released by Microsoft related to the Windows cumulative security patch released on July 9, 2024. Devices that have been configured for BitLocker encryption, particularly those configured for Device Encryption, may require entering the BitLocker recovery key during restart of Windows after installing the latest security patch. If the recovery key is requested by Windows, the device will not be able to start until the key is provided. Standard BitLocker (not Device Encryption) is an optional configuration that may be enabled on Hologic SecurView and Horizon product devices.

BEFORE installing patches to a BitLocker enabled device, please ensure that you have access to the required BitLocker recovery key. For SecurView devices, BitLocker recovery key(s) can be found within E:\BitLocker and should also be stored securely, off device, by the Health Delivery Organization (HDO). For Horizon devices, a USB flash drive should have been created during the encryption process. If the BitLocker recovery key cannot be located, contact Hologic Technical Support for assistance.

Microsoft Known Issue Statement:

After installing the July 9, 2024, Windows security update, you might see a BitLocker recovery screen upon starting up your device. This screen does not commonly appear after a Windows update. You are more likely to face this issue if you have the Device Encryption option enabled in Settings under Privacy & Security > Device encryption. Because of this issue, you might be prompted to enter the recovery key from your Microsoft account to unlock your drive.
