I can't get BitLocker to recognize a USB flash drive.
It previously had BitLocker enabled, it was removed via formatting and now I want to re-enable it.

Problem is the option no longer shows up in the right-click context menu.
Nor does the BitLocker management app seem to recognize it as a flash drive.

I formatted the drive a few times. Used NTFS and exFat to no avail.

Had the same issue.

After formatting the USB stick (NO quickformat!) the bitlocker option re-appeared inside the context menu (right click).
