Overview

  • Microsoft has released KB5061768, an emergency out-of-band update, to resolve issues caused by the mandatory KB5058379 Windows 10 update.
  • The KB5058379 update caused affected systems to enter BitLocker recovery mode or experience Blue Screens of Death (BSOD).
  • Only specific Windows 10 versions—22H2 and Enterprise LTSC 2021—on Intel vPro systems with Trusted Execution Technology (TXT) are impacted.
  • Microsoft advises users unable to install the fix immediately to disable Intel TXT in BIOS to complete the update without triggering recovery or crashes.
  • Users must locate their own BitLocker recovery keys, as Microsoft cannot retrieve or recreate lost keys.
