Microsoft fixed the problem with Windows booting into BitLocker recovery​

Microsoft has updated the official Windows Health Dashboard website to clarify that affected customers can fix the problem by installing the latest update. Those include KB5041585 for Windows 11 and KB5041580 for Windows 10. If you are not there yet and you have a computer that asks you to enter your BitLocker recovery key, just do what it wants—Microsoft says entering your recovery key is enough to get to the desktop without any extra issues:
This issue was resolved by Windows updates released August 13, 2024, 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 install an update released August 13, 2024 (KB5041585) or later, you do not need to use a workaround for this issue. If you are using an update released before Agusut 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.

I had a problem with Windows not showing WIFI, nor connecting to it, despite showing the Wifi adapter working normally under device management. Manually rebooting fixed the issue.

Latest Windows 11 update is reportedly causing freezes and lags for some users - gHacks Tech News

:oops:

If you have installed the latest batch of Windows 11 Updates and could boot fine into the system after installation, congratulations. Reports suggest that the update is causing issues on some systems.
The details:
  • Microsoft released the cumulative update KB5041585 for Windows 11 version 22H2 and 23H2 on Tuesday.
  • The updates fix security issues and non-security issues..
  • Users affected by the issue say that the update is slowing down their systems to a crawl.
  • Others say that the update would not even install.
A thread on Reddit points out the issues that users experience when they install the latest Windows 11 updates on their devices.
Some excerpts:
  • "I don't know what in the world happened with this update, but it's completely screwed up my laptop. Slow, laggy, extremely delayed response time, Minecraft realms won't even show and no sound at all on the app" writes Silly_Lawyer_1574.
  • "Finally, after waiting forever and a day, it let's me log in but then nothing is working. I finally got it to let me shut down after like 20 mins of trying" says user Spirite_Season2332
  • "For whatever reason, the update somehow failed to install. I tried again and then it said that it would try again. I'm going to restart and check to see what's up" writes DestinyDecade.
  • "The CPU is almost constantly at 100%, everything is super slow, laggy, I get timeouts left and right." writes doriman.
It goes on like that. It is unclear what is causing this. The users have not posted information about their devices and Microsoft has yet to acknowledge that there is an issue with the update.
