What can I do if Windows 11 will not accept the correct Recovery Key?

I recently updated my computer and after it restarted it prompted me to input my Recovery Key. After finding it and entering it in correctly, Windows 11 says that it is not correct. I have tried to use the command prompt and it still hasn't worked. I cant even uninstall the update as it produces an error. Some thing to note is that I also have linux installed on this computer as well. Im not sure if that has something to do with it. I would really rather not have to completely reset my computer.

    Hello

    Thank you for your question and reaching out. I can understand you are having query\issues related to Bitlocker key.

    Step 1 In bios : boot options, change secure boot to disable . save and exit bios

    Step 2 In bios : boot options, change secure boot to enabled , clear all secure boot keys, load hp factory default keys . save and exit .

    Also Check using below url in case its backed up on a microsoft account.

    https://account.microsoft.com/devices/recoverykey
