Bitlocker right-click option to lock drive

Post by b-man1 »

I never noticed a manual bitlocker lock option missing from the right-click menu, but wanted to add it. Found the below method, which works well:

I use an internal drive for local Veeam backups to a bitlocker encrypted drive. I leave it locked whenever backups are not running, which keeps it more secure from ransomware, etc. I do not enable the auto-unlock option for the same reason. It's nice having the right-click option and I'm surprised this isn't a native feature.
