    Bitlocker: Encrypted USB no access


    Hello, I have a usb that has been encrypted using bitlocker, I can connect this usb to my desktop and I can input the password and access the usb. However on my laptop and other computers, when I plug in the usb I do not get the prompt to input my password and instead just says that the drive is inaccessible. Both my laptop and my desktop are windows 10 and I have admin rights on both machines. On both machines I have not used bitlocker, can someone help explain how I can access my usb on normal machines and can someone explain how I can open my usb on my desktop but not my laptop?

    :)

  2. Access Bitlocker-encrypted USB-drive on Windows 10 home

    I am using a desktop computer with Windows 10 pro. I have my important data "to go" on a USB-drive which I encrypted using Bitlocker. This drive I can also access on my Notebook which runs Windows 7 (after having entered the password to unlock the USB-drive).

    Now I am thinking to buy a new notebook which will be delivered with Windows 10 home. Will I still be able to access my Bitlocker-encrypted USB-drive on the new notebook (Windows 10 home)? I need to read and write data on this drive.

    Windows update applied on 8/29 seems to have removed my access to bitlocker drives

    Windows update applied on 8/29 seems to have removed my access to bitlocker drives. Specifically, a bitlocker encrypted partition and any USB drives that I have bitlocked. When I right click on the drive icon, there no longer is a command to allow entering
    the bitlocked drive password. Please provide instructions on how to regain bitlocker functionality. I confirmed that I am running Windows 10 Pro.
