Windows 10: USBs encrypted with BitLocker To Go causes Windows 10 machines to hang following Windows...

Hi


Months ago we configured BitLocker To Go (BTG) group policies which worked flawlessly until around 13-Dec when Windows Defender was updated from version 4.14.17639.18041-0 to 4.18.1812.3-0. Since then when a BTG USB drive is inserted it causes Windows 10 v1803 (OS Build 17134.523) machines to hang for 10 minutes before finally prompting the user for the BTG password which then allows access to the drive contents. This issue does not occur on Windows 7 machines.


I've tested temporarily disabling Windows Defender fixes the issue but this is far for ideal and only for troubleshooting purposes obviously:-

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender\DisableAntiSpyware set it to 1 to disable Windows Defender

Also rolling back this update to the Inbox CAMP version by running the following command fixes it too but also far from ideal:
"%programfiles%\Windows Defender\MpCmdRun.exe" -resetplatform

C:\Program Files\Windows Defender\MsMpEng.exe (v4.13.17134.320)

Is there a proper fix for this issue please?


Best regards
Scott

Windows 10 USB boot

Hi there, am not a windows 10 expert. I have a pc in the bedroom on windows 10, I messed up the bootloader trying to fix the xp on that system.

System wont boot, trying to repair via win 10 usb installer.

Downloaded the media creation tool to install windows 10 installer on usb stick. Not compatible with a host of usb sticks I have. Tried the usb sticks that others use, but I think they use rufus; as the media creation tool by win 10 does not detect the usb stick.

So quick question, the win10 machine i am trying to repair the bootloader is a win7 upgraded to win10.
If i were to use the usb win10 installer to "repair installation" does the version of the iso downloaded via the media creation tool matter?

There is three options:
Windows 10
Windows 10 Home
Windows 10 N

Also is there a step by step instead of using rufus as I want to try an alternative method of creating a usb win 10 installer. Preferably with more compatibility.

System is a asus sabertooth 990 (r2?) with AMD phenom X 6.

Also is there any other software I can load onto the usb that can repair the bootloader easily?
That would be the ideal alternative. Thanks

 

BitLocker Save to USB Flash missing?


Hi,

I followed the step by step guide on what Brink wrote up below.
https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/3...-a.html?filter[1]=Security System Tools

However, when turning ON BitLocker to encrypt the OS drive only, and ask me to where to save the recovery key, I get only the Save to File and not the Save to USB Flash. Has MS taken out the Save to USB selection since WIn 10 version 1511?

I followed all the steps and left BitLocker to its default setting (except for encryption method).

I was able to save the recovery key to a file which was my USB flash drive.
