Re: bitlocker
Yes I use bitlocker on my system drive and on 2 external usb hard drives.
xplorer2 has worked perfectly with these drives for several years

Re: bitlocker
are you doing anything special to access the drives? Does xplorer2 ask for the password?

Re: bitlocker
no, xplorer2 works with bitlocker INvisibly.
The 2 external drives have "auto unlock on" and xplorer2 does not need to ask for a password and works without trouble.
However if I logged out of Bitlocker for one of the drives
and then asked xplorer2 to view files on it,
Then I would be asked for the bitlocker password first.
OTOH I always assumed it was the system doing the asking and not xplorer2.
I was wrong to say that my system drive was bitlocked, on my main computer; but on my laptop the system drive is encrypted without problem.
Can I help further?
