Windows 10: Bitlocker Question

Yes, hello, MS-Community...


Can you help me figure out what's gone wrong here? I've been trying to get the context menu to show bitlocker back on my work pc, but when I enter the registry information from this file ( COMMANDS:


Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00


Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00



[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\encrypt-bde]

"LegacyDisable"=-



[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\encrypt-bde-elev]

"LegacyDisable"=-



[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\manage-bde]

"LegacyDisable"=-



[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\manage-bde-elev]

"LegacyDisable"=-



[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\resume-bde]

"LegacyDisable"=-



[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\resume-bde-elev]

"LegacyDisable"=-



[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\unlock-bde]

"LegacyDisable"=-


, I cannot get bitlocker to show ALL of the commands in the context menu. I will link a screenshot from my desktop computer:







I know there are more bitlocker commands than this and I'd like to make them appear but thus far, I haven't been able to figure out why I can't coax them out.


The following screenshot was done in VMware and shows the extended command list after having entered the registry information:


My question to you is this - How can I make it to where I'm seeing the extended commands for the bitlocker stuff as shown here, from my virtual machine session:




I have ran SFC and the results have come up clean, DISM has not returned anything bad and I appear to be up to date...is it possible that I've turned some shell functionality off?
