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.
