Question Windows 11 Bitlocked my Entire pc, or ransomeware, malware?

[iTRiP]

I don't know how or why but I found myself stuck in another pc sitch, my pc totally locked by some windows window after booting that read Bitloacked with some fresh procedures to follow, but I ignored those instructions and found my own way out of the sitch, now I'm back on Windows 22H2 updating to 23H2... everything I had on my pc is gone, but it looks quite stable again... maybe this was the cause of my pc's crash issue, still yet to test a game again, It was probably my own fault, so I got nobody but myself to blame but that water under the bridge now...

Shed some light on that if you can.

but I ignored those instructions

Thats generally not a good idea.

Probably, but I got out of it without infecting anything else, lost two media creation sticks as well as the secure boot rom of my pc's bios was so infected that it took quiet the effort to resolve, but here I am still on the way to my upgrade. ( can't say how this happened, but it seemed as it was infected in the secure boot part of the bios) And that my last fresh install before now had totally not succeeded because of this unknown fact was dealt with)

I don't think windows's resolution to resolve such a sitch is at all best, thinking that they only gave 10 seconds to enter a pass key, witch had to be sourced by logging in to MS account and then getting that info back to the lock-unlock screen, well I could not tell if it was MS or something else.

So, prepare.
Get that BitLocker key or pin before.

When it asks, input.
