Windows 10: Bitlocker eject issue windows 10 Probable solution

I have been struggling with my bitlocker enabled external HDD and the fact that I was not able to safely remove my drive was driving me insane especially when I have some important stuff on it.
So here is the solution I have found so far that works normally on my Win 10.
I have found it here on this website:
https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/37432-add-lock-drive-context-menu-bitlocker-drives-windows-10-a.html

Follow the option one, Download the necessary files, put the file on system 32 and run the other file just like it says in the link in the option one. After you have done that you try to LOCK the unlocked drive, click the right mouse button and there should be LOCK THE DRIVE.
This won't lock your drive but after that operation I was able to safely remove my drive.
Hope this will work for You.
If you have a shorter solution please share
Thank You

How to eject Bitlocker enabled USB on Windows 10?

Original title: How do I eject a bitlocker enabled drive?

I have BitLocker enabled on my flash drive and I can use it fine on a computer running Windows 10 Pro, however it will not allow me to safely remove the drive claiming the computer is using it.

This issue appeared only after I enabled BitLocker on the drive.

Need to turn off Bitlocker to install Windows 10

Hi,

We suggest doing the following steps again to resolve the issue. To complete the procedure, make sure that you have the following information:

• You must be able to provide administrative credentials.
• The drive must be BitLocker-protected.

To suspend BitLocker Drive Encryption on an operating system drive, please follow the steps below:

• Click Start, click Control Panel, click
  System and Security, and then click BitLocker Drive Encryption.
• Click Suspend Protection for the operating system drive.
• A message is displayed, informing you that your data will not be protected while BitLocker is suspended and asking if you want to suspend BitLocker Drive Encryption.
  
• Click Yes to continue and suspend BitLocker on the drive.

Let us know how it goes.
