Windows 10: Bitlocker locked and unlocked at same time

How do I get Win 11 back after Bitlocker activated on me following an update?I entered my Recovery Key. I got a screen that included "Bitlocker Version: 2.0 Encryption Method: XTS-AES 128 Protection Status: Protection On Lock Status: Unlocked Identification Field: unknown Automatic Unlock: Disabled ERROR: the volume is already unlocked."How do I unlock a machine that is already unlocked?

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.

Locking an Unlocked BitLocker Enabled Drive

Hi, I searched for an option to lock an unlocked BitLocker enabled drive but couldn't find anything. The unlocked drive is accessible by the other user when switching the user account. There should be an option to lock the drive when a user has finished.

I hereby suggest to modify the context menu as shown in the image:





I am sure this will help the users a lot.

Thank you
