Windows 10: bitlocker option missing

I setup BitLocker on a USB stick I get it configure everything look great. Then I put it in another computer and that computer does not ask for the BitLocker password and shows the device as inaccessible. When I right click on he USB drive I do not see any BitLocker options. We have to manually go into the app in control panel to manage the encrypted USB drive.


Where are the options and why does the prompt to put in the BitLocker password request show on some computer but not others?

Need to turn off Bitlocker to install Windows 10

Hi,

We suggest doing the following steps again to resolve the issue. To complete the procedure, make sure that you have the following information:

• You must be able to provide administrative credentials.
• The drive must be BitLocker-protected.

To suspend BitLocker Drive Encryption on an operating system drive, please follow the steps below:

• Click Start, click Control Panel, click
  System and Security, and then click BitLocker Drive Encryption.
• Click Suspend Protection for the operating system drive.
• A message is displayed, informing you that your data will not be protected while BitLocker is suspended and asking if you want to suspend BitLocker Drive Encryption.
  
• Click Yes to continue and suspend BitLocker on the drive.

Let us know how it goes.
