If BitLocker is enabled, the following applies:
● When -autoSuspendBitLocker is set to enable, and a BIOS update is available, then the BIOS update is installed, and
BitLocker is suspended during the duration of installation process. After the BIOS and other updates are installed, the system
automatically reboots to complete the BIOS update, and BitLocker is re-enabled. The following warning message is displayed
on the console before applying the updates
Warning: Because the BIOS update is selected, and BitLocker is enabled on this system, BitLocker will be
suspended temporarily during the installation time to effectively apply the BIOS update. After the BIOS and
other updates are applied, the system automatically reboots to complete the BIOS update, and BitLocker is re-
enabled.
● When -autoSuspendBitLocker is set to disable, the CLI removes the BIOS updates from the applicable updates and installs
the rest of the updates. The following warning message is displayed on the console
Warning: One or more available updates will be skipped, as installing these updates may cause the system to
become locked by BitLocker. To avoid this situation, enable BitLocker suspension and run again to install these
updates.
