  1. Bitlocker, that I'm not setup, lock my Dell computer after Windows update


    Hi,


    After a recent Windows update, my Dell computer that I buy from official Diller was locked by BitLocker. I never set up it or store any keys. After that, I read a lot of posts about the same problem and imagine that BitLocker in new Windows is installed and enabled by default. That is awful. And this is happening not only with me that after Windows update or some problems with the disc it enables automatically without providing any keys...

    This is awful.

    So back to my situation. I also check all my Microsoft accounts and one drive and there are no keys stored, so please do not point me there.

    What can you suggest in case the user never install BitLocker and it is activated accidentally? Can someone check my computer name and help me if there any keys liked or Microsoft accounts linked to it?


    Thanks in advacne

    :)

  2. Bitlocker Not Working After Windows 10 Update

    I followed your suggestions and these did not resolve the problem.

    I have found that Bitlocker stops working after I have relocked the drive using the command "manage-bde -lock -forcedismount d:" and the computer remains idle for some time. When I return and try to access the drive, it does not display the window to enter
    the password. There are instance of bdeunlock.exe listed in the Task Manager-->Details window however.

    Everything was working fine until this latest update.

    Any additional suggestions?
