BitLocker Automatic lock is not working

I turned on BitLocker to one of my partitions. I wanted an Auto Lock option, for which I tweaked the registry. The following is the code, which I actually found in the
EightForums.
 Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\lock-bde]
"AppliesTo"="System.Volume.BitLockerProtection:=1 OR System.Volume.BitLockerProtection:=3 OR System.Volume.BitLockerProtection:=5 NOT C:"
@="Lock Drive..."
"HasLUAShield"=""
"MultiSelectModel"="Single"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\lock-bde\command]

  20,00,25,00,31,00,00,00
I added the above code to the registry. You can see the screen shot below.
And, I also pasted a .vbs file with the following code in the System32 folder.

Drive = ""
Last = Wscript.Arguments.Count - 1
For n = 0 To Last
 Drive = Drive & " " & Wscript.Arguments.Item(n)
Next
Drive = Replace(Drive,":\",":")
CreateObject("Shell.Application").ShellExecute "manage-bde.exe", "-lock -forcedismount " & Drive, "", "runas", 0
Then, I got a LockDrive option in the right-click menu which helped me to lock the drive without rebooting. (As shown in the following screenshot).
The option worked properly for a few days and now, when I click on "LockDrive", it is not working.
How to repair this tweak and make the "LockDrive" option in the right-click menu work properly?
I am running Windows 8.1 Pro x64.

Hi,
I suppose that any security update break this down.
Please check if there is any update installed before this issue. Try a system restore to see if this feature works well.
To narrow down the cause of this issue, please run command to lock the Bitlocker drive manually to see what's going on:
Run cmd.exe as administrator by right click and run as....
Type following command line:
manage-bde -lock x:
x = drive letter you want to re-lock.
If this command can work fine, there should be something wrong with the script you get from other forum.
You can try to use Process monitor to capture the events when you use the right-click menu item, and check if there is any access denied or file not found error.
Process Monitor v3.05
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx
How to use, please refer to this article:

    hi there
    my iphone run out of charge very rapidaly and also turn it self off time to time , and when i set auto lock for example 1,2,5 ect minutes it does not work at all

    Do you have a protective case on the iPhone, maybe it's interfering with the auto-lock?
    If that isn't it, try restarting or restoring the iPhone.

  • Keyboard delete and caps lock keys not working after update

    Shortly after a windows update two keys, delete and caps lock do not work. I have tried the following
    1. system restore..it says it cannot restore as a file is missing. I have used this function before without any problem.
    2. Update key board driver (standard PS/2)..it says latest version is installed.
    3. Uninstall and reinstall.
    4. Reset using the remove batteryt hold down power key option.
    The caps lock and delete does not work in Notepad or MS Word.
    It seems unlikely that the two keys themselves are damaged as it is unlikely that they would both fail at the same time and the problem after the windows undate is suspicious.
    I am using Windows 7 Home premium on a 64 bit HP G62.
    help appreciated as ever
    thanks

    Here's another test...since your laptop has USB ports get or borrow a USB keyboard and try it and if all those keys work and test then the results would mean your laptop keyboard has stop functioning as least you narrow done the problem.

    i have problem with my iphone 5 lock switch..as lock switch not working properly..and my iphone is not in warrenty.. so plz tell me what i do...

    The iPhone 5 is less than a year old, so all of them should still be in warranty unless they have been jailbroken or physically damaged. If you have a hardware problem as you describe the only option is to get the phone replaced by Apple or repaired by a non-authorized shop. The Apple replacement will be free at any Apple store in the country where the phone was purchased. If Apple determines that the phone was physically damaged or jailbroken it will cost $229.

  • My auto-lock does not work properly in this new iOS 6

    My auto-lock does not work properly in this new iOS 6

    Do you have your Assistive Touch on? Per another user in another forum:
    Source: http://forums.imore.com/ios-6-forum/240631-auto-lock-not-working-ios-6-a.html. Username: Chambaka
    Okay, I did a 'reset all settings' in settings and problems fixed. Hope this can be useful for others.
    Edit: it appears that when the assistive touch is on the autolock function won't work while in the home screen, but will work if opening a app. I hope Apple fixes this bug in the next update.
    I tried what he said and my auto-lock's working again - so, I turned off my Assistive Touch. Hope Apple fixes this bug soon,

    Then you still are in your Apple one year hardware warranty and can get it replaced/repaired.

  • Automatic update does not work

    On my both computers (Windows 7, Window 8), the automatic update does not work at all, although it is activated in the options. All I get in the Firefox info box is that an update is available, with a link that I have to follow to download the installation file and install it manually. No difference even if I wait for weeks, the update is neither downloaded nor installed automatically. The problem persists in all Firefox versions since version 3.6.16 / 2011 (the last update in the chronicle). Note that the automatic update seems to perform well in the Windows XP mode of my Windows 7 system !

    It will update eventually; there may have been availability problems on the update servers.

  • Lock button not working for iPhone4

    Hi All,
    My lock button not working from last 2months, I am using assistive touch for time being.
    I bought my mobile in UK 1year back, currently i am staying in India.
    My real problem is, recently i visited apple store. The guys in the store are saying, it is against to their law to serve or repair mobiles which were bought in other country..
    I think this is rediculous.. Just i need some information how to fix it or how to contact the correct person regarding this POOR service.
    Thanks
    Rajesh

    No. The warranty is only valid in the country of purchase. All service for iPhones in UAE is provided by the supported carriers. You can find a list here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1937
    If you did not purchase it from one of the carriers listed, then you probably purchased an illegally imported gray market phone.
    Check Settings>General>About. What does it say for Model #?

  • Caps lock light not working properly

    My Laptop caps lock is not working properly , when i press it , the light just flashes and dissappear , the light is suppose to stay there , the things that i type will still be in caps though , any idea how this happens?

    Hey,
    Sorry to hear about the keyboard problem.
    In a post a while back had this to say.  He makes a suggestion that the keyboard might need to be replaced, then the person with the question tried something else.  You might take a look and see if there's something there that will help.
    Thanks for coming to the forum.
    Hope I helped,

  • HT1192 Caps Lock is not working in my mac, after pressing long time too.

    Caps Lock is not working in my mac, after pressing long time too.Please help me to sort this problem out.

    I think even in newer versions of OS X there is a slight delay; just not so pronounced. My advice to get around it would be to install PCKeyboardHack and KeyRemap4MacBook - then do a couple of things:
    Change the Caps Lock key in System Preferences > Keyboard > Modifier Keys to "None"
    Use PCKeyboardHack to remap Caps Lock to keycode 110, the PC Application Key, which is unused on Apple keyboards.
    Then use KeyRemap4Macbook to map that particular keycode to Toggle Caps Lock.Try selecting For PC Users > Change PC Application Key > Application Key to CapsLock.
    I'm pretty sure that should get rid of the delay, which only happens when Apple is in charge of connecting the Caps Lock key to its action.
    Really, though, I would personally recommend doing some much more awesome things with your Caps Lock key; it's prime keyboard real estate, and who uses caps lock anyway, except in the darkest corners of the Internet? Personally, I've remapped Caps to be Escape (for use in my text editor) when you press it by itself quickly, but to be Cmd+Opt+Ctrl+Shift when you press it with any other key. I call it the "Hyper" key, and use it to switch applications; Hyp+S = Safari, Hyp+D = email, Hyp+F = Finder... The point is, be creative, make the Caps Lock key work for you.
    Oh, and the real Escape key maps to Caps Lock, so I can use it if I want to.
