For some reason, Bitlocker will not resume on some remote Dell workstations. I suspect this has to deal with not being connected to the domain when booting up/logging in. After many attempts, I finally got a working script that will resume Bitlocker even if they are not on the VPN. This has been driving me crazy for months. Hopefully this will help others. Evaluation# Check BitLocker status on C:$bitlockerStatus = Get-BitLockerVolume -MountPoint "C:" | Select-Object -ExpandProperty ProtectionStatus# BitLocker Status Legend:# 0 = Off# 1 = On# 2 = Suspended# Return 1 (non-compliant) if BitLocker is suspended (status = 2)# Return 0 (compliant) if BitLocker is enabled (status = 1)# Return 1 (non-compliant) if BitLocker is off or any other statusif ($bitlockerStatus -eq 2) { Write-Output "BitLocker is suspended." exit 1} elseif ($bitlockerStatus -eq 1) { Write-Output "BitLocker is enabled and active." exit 0} else { Write-Output "BitLocker is not enabled or in unknown state."

A few highlights worth noting if you’re wrangling updates today: CVE-2025-62215 – Windows Kernel EoP (CVSS 7.0). Local access + user interaction needed, but successful attacks can escalate privileges at the kernel level. Watch for suspicious driver installs or new admin accounts. CVE-2025-62220 – Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) GUI RCE (CVSS 8.8). Triggered through a crafted RDP file using the /plugin option. If users open a malicious file, an attacker could get remote code execution on the Windows host. Patch WSL and RDP components, and lock down plugin loading via Group Policy or Intune. CVE-2025-62222 – Visual Studio Code CoPilot Chat RCE (CVSS 8.8). Improper command-line handling allows command injection through crafted prompts or updates. Make sure extensions come from trusted sources and keep workspace trust locked down. Each of these ties into broader trends we’ve been tracking, especially AI-integrated tools becoming new threat surfaces.Full write-up + mitigation guidance
