Bios Updater with bitlocker enabled

So I have a 2022 blade 15 (odd build: 240HZ, 12900H, 32GB) and the drives are bitlocked.  The updater asks that you disable bitlocker temporarily.  Is the problem that the user will need to reenter the bitlocker passcode?

I have to do the same if I change the bios to temp switch to  the dedicated gpu...

… Or would something tragic happen if it is not disabled??

Here’s a good article on how to suspend bitlocker temporarily for an UEFI BIOS update (ofc if the bios updater will not do this automatically): https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-client/windows-security/suspend-bitlocker-protection-non-microsoft-updates

After bios update just resume Bitlocker.

Thanks!  ^^ This worked.  You will be prompted for the bitlocker passphrase once the bios updates.

Trying to update Bios from razer site for 2023 16” rtx4090, bitlocker encryption is still showing as enabled in the updater, but it is fully suspended. How do I proceed from here??
