Windows 10: Bitlocker Auto Unlock: activated but not working

I have 2 storage hdd encrypted w/ bitlocker, in addition to the encrypted OS volume C:.

I activated auto unlock expecting the storage volumes to automatically unlock with the unlocking of C: (I enter the psw during boot since I don't have TPM). However they stay locked until I open them and manually enter their psw.

Looked everywhere on the internet for solutions but the problem is still here, so I'm posting asking for help.

Things to know:
- storage volumes are seen as removable, instead of fixed (I guess because ahci is set, so should be normal)
- the two storage volumes have been encrypted before encrypting C:, and have different psw from C: (shouldn't matter either, but you never know)

How to Auto-lock the drives on Windows 10 using BitLocker.

Original title: BitLocker Auto Lock

How do I can auto lock to BitLocker after unlocking a driver in Windows 10 Pro?

N.B: I'm using BitLocker with Windows 8.1 & upgrade free to 10 pro.

 

Auto-unlock BitLocker "for this user"

I have a laptop running Windows 10 Pro, fully updated. There are several other users on this PC.
Recently, I purchased an external hard disk to back up my “personal” files.
When I used BitLocker to encrypt the HD I learned that the feature I tried to use didn’t work as I thought.
I wanted to set BitLocker to “auto-unlock FOR THIS USER ONLY” and not have the HD files available to the other users.
Instead, it auto-unlocks “FOR THIS PC” and everyone has access to it.
And it remains unlocked even if I sign out; I must either turn off the PC or restart it when I am through.
Worse, this is true even if I don’t use the auto-unlock feature!
I could buy a third-party program to lock my files on the HD, but then why have BitLocker?
Any ideas?



Microsoft, are you listening?
