KB5040525 activates BitLocker without user's permission
Hello everyone!
My laptop received an update named KB5040525. After my laptop had installed it, the windows started and I found out my D Drive was locked by BitLocker without my permission.
To solve this problem, I uninstalled the package, and I was able to use the drive again.
This has happened twice and my laptop has kept reinstalling it. How to prevent this from happening again so that I would still be able to update mine with other useful packages?
Why does this package act like a ransomware without a ransom?
Thank you for reading my post and providing helps!
Regards,
Quoc Si

T_T My laptop has just asked me to restart it to install that Update again.
