How to use cloud recovery for BitLocker on a Surface Hub How to use cloud recovery for BitLocker on a Surface Hub c0bde23a-49de-40f3-a675-701e3576d44d Accessibility settings, Settings app, Ease of Access surface-hub library v-miegge v-miegge article medium

Summary

This article describes how to use the cloud recovery function if you are unexpectedly prompted by BitLocker on a Surface Hub device.

Note

You should follow these steps only if a BitLocker recovery key isn't available.

Warning

  • This recovery process deletes the contents of the internal drive. If the process fails, the internal drive will become completely unusable. If this occurs, you will have to log a service request with Microsoft for a resolution.
  • After the recovery process is complete, the device will be reset to the factory settings and returned to its Out of Box Experience state.
  • After the recovery, the Surface Hub must be completely reconfigured.

Important

This process requires an open Internet connection that does not use a proxy or other authentication method.

"Something went Wrong" error message

This error is usually caused by network issues that occur during the recovery download. When this issue occurs, don't turn off the Hub because you won't be able to restart it. If you receive this error message, return to the "Recover from the cloud" step, and then restart the recovery process.

  1. Select Cancel.
