As promised, Microsoft is rolling out an out-of-band emergency update for Windows 10 to address problems with Intel-based systems booting into BitLocker recovery due to LSASS issues caused by KB5058379. The company recently acknowledged a known issue on devices with Intel Trusted Execution Technology (TXT) on 10th-gen and later systems and promised to release a fix as soon as possible. The company did not take too long to address the issue, and the necessary fix is now available on the Microsoft Update Catalog as KB5061768, with build numbers 19044.5853 (Windows 10 version 21H2) and 19045.5853 (Windows 10 version 22H2).

[OS Security (Known Issue)] Fixed: A known issue on devices with Intel Trusted Execution Technology (TXT) enabled on 10th generation or later Intel vPro processors. On these systems, installing the May 13, 2025, Windows security update (KB5058379) might cause the Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS) process to terminate unexpectedly, triggering an Automatic Repair prompting for the BitLocker recovery key to continue.

In the updated post on the Windows Health Dashboard website, Microsoft says that KB5061768 is recommended for those who use affected systems and have not yet deployed KB5058379 (May 2025 security update). It will prevent BitLocker problems from happening
