How to Unlock Bitlocker Recovery Key id windows 11, 10

If you update your Dell laptop from Windows 10 to Windows 11 then this BitLocker recovery key id error can be seen. Even if you have never enabled BitLocker encryption on your system.

In my case, I found that BitLocker encryption was enabled automatically after updating the BIOS on my Dell laptop. However, on some Dell devices, BitLocker is automatically triggered to encrypt the drive if a Microsoft account is used on the system.
