Devices boot into BitLocker recovery with the July 2024 security update?

Microsoft has fixed a known issue causing some Windows devices to boot into BitLocker recovery after installing the July 2024 security update.

Resolution: This issue was resolved by Windows updates released August 13, 2024 (KB5041585), and later. We recommend you install the latest update for your device as it contains important improvements and issue resolutions, including this one.

If you are using an update released before August 13, 2024, and have this issue, your device should proceed to start up normally from the BitLocker recovery screen once the recovery key has been entered. You can retrieve the recovery key by logging into the BitLocker recovery screen portal with your Microsoft account. Detailed steps for finding the recovery key are listed here: Finding your BitLocker recovery key in Windows.

Microsoft Word deletes some documents instead of saving them??

Users who are using Word for Microsoft 365 version 2409, build 18025.20104 may encounter a bug where the file is deleted if the title contains a capitalized file extension (.DOCX, .RTF) or #.

Microsoft has updated the status as FIXED as of 8th Oct 2024 (Locally saved Word files with capitalized file extensions or # in the title may be deleted after save – Microsoft Support)

If you’re still seeing the issue, please close all open Office apps and re-open Word to ensure the change has been picked up.
