Windows 10: How can I prevent bitlocker confusion after wake from sleep?

Hi,

I have a bit-locker protected USB drive. It's set to always be unlocked when attached to my main desktop PC.

After I waking from sleep the drive shows as locked in My PC:






If I double-click it I get this message:





However if I right-click the drive and select "Open" I'm able to access it.

I think the issue is that the context menu for the right-click shows "Unlock drive" as the default action:





Any idea how to fix this confusion?

I'm running OS build 18362.116 (Windows 10 Insider Slow Ring).

:)

 

wake from sleep issue in windows 10

Hi,

Thank you for posting your reply. Apologize for the delay in response.

I suggest you to check which devices are configured to wake up the computer from sleep by following the steps below:

• Right click on Start icon and select Command Prompt (Admin).
• Type the command line below:

Powercfg /devicequery wake_armed

3. Check if the devices (Keyboard, Mouse, Ethernet cable) are listed.

If the system is not going to sleep and going to Hybernate, the only option to wake up is to press the Power button.

Hope the information is helpful.
