    BitLocker-enabled USB flash drive keeps locking


    I have Two BitLocker-enabled USB flash drives attached to my Windows 10 Pro PC. Both require me to enter the recovery key each time I rebook to PC, which I think is normal. However, one of them locks from time to time without rebooting, requiring me to enter the recovery key over again. What may cause this, and how can I prevent it from happening?

    :)
