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.

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

 

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

Hello Mominur,

Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community. We will assist you in resolving the issue.

Before assisting further, I would like to ask you few questions:

• When you say “unlocking a driver”, are you referring to drives on the computer?
• On which drive do you want to set auto-lock BitLocker option (Internal drive or External drive)?

You will be able to perform auto unlock of the drive using BitLocker. To perform auto-lock of the drive using BitLocker, you should either lock out of the user account if it an internal drive or remove the device driver for the external drive.
