Deleted Bit-Recovery-Key in error
I made the mistake of accidentally deleting my Bit Recovery Key and now I have no idea how to restore it. Is there anyway to maintain my microsoft account and restore the key? I would be fine with erasing the computer, as long as I can still access them from the cloud with the same microsoft account. Can anyone help?[On demand] AMA: Managing Windows updates

Account Blocked on the Feedback Hub
Everytime I log into the feedback hub with my user checklist animations. I am redirected to the url https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/blocked/ This happens on any computer and any browser. How can I get my account unblocked? I have reached out to Microsoft support 3 times now. My latest discussion I was told to post here. I was helping users on the feedback hub for PowerPoint. I am guessing that is not something that you want others doing because you blocked me. I know that I posted some future tools that would help other users complete things they were looking for, or maybe it was because I was replying to old posts. Either way I just want to be able to help people so please unblock my account.
What Happens Outside "Active Hours?"
While looking at the features and functionality of autopatch, I'm being asked for more detailed information on behaviors related to "Active Hours", but more specifically what happens outside of active hours. (Please let me know if additional information is required to answer this) Example: It's 21:30p, the device active hours are being automatically set (05:00a to 20:00p) and a quality update is discovered and installed that requires a reboot to complete. if I'm still interacting with the host, will it try and reboot because its technically outside of active hours? Will it provide a warning or option to pause, reschedule, etc? What is the expected behavior? Does the windows host recognize that activity is occurring and wait until a specific point in time outside of active hours? How best can I explain what happens outside of active hours to the rest of the team so they will better understand expected behaviors? Thank you in advance,
Enable Windows 10 Extended Security Update
Hi All, We are managing our Windows 10 workstation fleet using SCCM, with activation handled via KMS. Since we have not yet transitioned to Windows 11, we’ve purchased ESU licenses. Microsoft provides detailed guidance on activating ESU through various methods — including Intune, phone, Internet, and the Volume Activation Management Tool (VMAT) for clients without Internet access — which is very helpful. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/whats-new/enable-extended-security-updates Does anyone know the best method to enable ESU for enterprise workstations using SCCM/KMS, or through any alternative approach?
