  1. Control Panel Search bar appearing twice


    I am using Win 10 Pro. Just after recent update to build version 18363.657, I noticed that Control Panel search bar is appearing twice and only the left search box is allowing me to type. Also with Control Panel open if I click on Search Box in task bar the control panel search bar is appearing as expected. I guess this is a bug and should be addressed.

    Bitlocker menu in Control Panel is gone!!!!!

    Hi,

    From the above screenshot I see that you are not able to access or see the Bitlocker Drive Encryption in Control Panel, i suggest you to change the view of the Control panel and then check if you are able to access or view it.

    Follow the below steps and check if it helps.

    • Type Control Panel in the Search bar and then Enter.
    • Select the View by options in the upper right pane.
    • In Category select the small icons and then check if you can view the Bitlocker Drive Encryption option.
    Hope this information is helpful. Please do let us know if you need further assistance, we’ll be glad to assist you.
