Surface RT and Bitlocker


Recommended Posts

So today the internet stopped working on my Surface.

The lady friend pressed the power button and then pushed it again pretty much straight afterwards. She said it didn't turn on. Then when I turned it on, it came up with Bitlocker. I had to sign in on my phone and type in an unlock code.

 

Can anyone tell me in layman terms what this is all about, if I should be worried and what may have caused it?

 

Thanks

Paul and Mary Jo talked about this issue on the last Windows Weekly. Microsoft is aware of the problem and it is being fixed. As it is a firmware issue it cannot be fixed with a system restore or refresh or reset, you have to wait for an update unfortunately.
