      • example: you put a flash drive in and then restarted the machine

 

  • How can I fix it?
    •  Remove all new devices and restart the machine.
      • This should clear the bit locker issue, but if not then a technician will have to get the recovery code, login with admin credentials, suspend Bit Locker, and then restart the machine.
