    Bitlocker frequently locking computers

    Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately these suggestions don't really fit our needs. We want to use BitLocker and don't want to disable it. The problem we have is that it locks some of our computers from time to time. Ideally we will make use of BitLocker but not have it blocking our computers.

    I have tried:

    1. Turning off BitLocker
    2. Installing all Driver and Windows Updates
    3. Turning BitLocker back on again
    Maybe this will help. We will wait and see.

    BitLocker locks my boss's computer

    Hi,

    My boss's computer has been locked by BitLocker. The odd part is he uses MS Windows 10 Home. All Microsoft call supports said that is simply not possible to happen. He had no clue when and how that happened.

    Anyway, it is now locked by BitLocker. We went through all the methods listed by Microsoft. We went through his MS email address to find the recovery key, the key was not there. We went through his external hard disk, the key was not there either.

    What else can we do by not reinstalling Windows and losing all the data in it? And what could cause activating BitLocker by itself?

    Please advise.

    Choon

    Note that My boss's computer is ASUS Expertbook. BitLocker locks both partitions C: and D:.
