Timeline for Does Bitlocker ever automatically suspend protection for non-OS drives / partitions? Or would a user ever need to manually do this?

Hardware or software changes on the system disk will not invalidate their encryption keys, so these don't need to be resealed (it's more complicated if you replace the motherboard and its TPM). | |

Whereas user action might be required for non-MS updates. But that quote only applies to suspension of the OS drive? What I do not know is whether pure data partitions or removeable drives would ever get suspended by MS, or need to be suspended by the user? | |
