Bitlocker error

I don’t have a recovery key. All I have is a blue screen. How to fix my desktop?

In most cases, the key should be stored in your Microsoft account.  Log in there to retrieve it.

If the system wasn't activated with a Microsoft account and you do not have a backup of the key, the only path forward is a bare-metal reinstall of Windows -- make Windows recovery media using the MS Media Creation Tool (on a flash drive) and boot the system from it.  You can do a complete ground-up reload of Windows from there.
