Windows 10: bitlocker missing in windows 11 pro

Hi ,when i click on bitlocker option from control panel, it's not opening and the bitlocker services not showing in services. MSc, need assistance to fix the issue ..

:)

 

Is there a difference with Bitlocker on Windows 11 Pro, or the M3 Bitlocker Loader?

I have Windows 11 Home and want to install Bitlocker. Every post I've seen says you must upgrade to Windows 11 Pro in order to get Bitlocker. But I've found something called M3 Bitlocker Loader available from M3 software for $19.95 "half-price.

Is this Bitlocker Loader Legitimate? Is it the same thing as Bitlocker on Windows 11 Pro?

Thanks.

 

Windows 8.1 PRO unable to unlock Bitlocked drive

Can you take a screen shot of the bitlocker window?

Also, what happens when you highlight the drive in This PC and go to the Manage tab? There should be some bitlocker options there.

 

Windows 8.1 PRO unable to unlock Bitlocked drive

I used a Bitlocker in Windows 8 PRO to Lock my Internal SATA Drive. I have formatted my PC twice in past and I was able to unlock it after each fresh installation of Windows 8.

But Recently I did a fresh Installation of Windows using same Software and CDKEY. This time I did upgraded to Windows 8.1 including all the latest patches.
Problem is When I click on my Drive, Windows give me the message " DO YOU WANT TO FORM IT" When I do click Cancel. I do the following message "The
volume does not contain a recognized file system....."
Here is the screenshot of error message

Disk management shows a healthy Drive:

I have done fresh installation of windows several times before but never had this issue. I was always able to restore security settings and unlock my drive using BITLOCKER.

I have tried to unlock the drive with just Windows 8 pro and the problem persists.

Additional Info:
- Control Panel > BitLocker, Software no longer shows my drive under it.
- Hardware specs remain the same before or after the issue.

Any tech support would be great.
