What happens if I forget to remove my key (Flash DRIVE) storage media after the Bitlocker Drive encryption key is responsible?

I'm new to BitLocker and don't know much about computers in general. I do not have a TPM, so I use a USB key containing the BitLocker encryption key to start Windows. Everything works fine. I don't, however, forgot to remove the USB after that and also when you restart the computer. This could be a security problem if I am connected to the Internet? (I'm alone and therefore am not worried else wanting to access the computer in person.) I'd appreciate any help I could get with this question.

Hi Tombroilt,

If you are only using the computer, then it is not a security problem. If you connect to the computer. I suggest you to see the following links for more information.

  • What happens if a password or authorization is required for a "interactive logon to the local security for domain policy or..?

    I use a pc at home on my wireless router which is password protected.  Under the local security policy, if enable password to access interactive domain requirement, what happens?  [Activate: interactive logon: requires authorization by domain controller...] I block someone tries to access my pc via a domain or I will block my access?  I use windows 8 and windows 7 HP, (different PC)

    Hi Laurie,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    According the information you have provided, I understand that you need information about the interactive logon to the local security for the domain policy. I will certainly give you with this information.

    Logon information must be provided to unlock a locked computer. For domain accounts, this security setting determines whether a domain controller must be contacted to unlock a computer. If this setting is disabled, a user can open the computer using cached credentials. If this setting is enabled, a domain controller must authenticate the domain account used to unlock the computer.

    You can catch Macromedia Studio 8 on Amazon for $ 50. Flash 8 has a great under XP, a half decent machine should have no problem with this version. I remember that I ran with 512 MB of RAM on a Pentium IV.

    And you won´t find better freeware imo.

  • cannot get rid of the "removable disk" in "my computer" and "Device Manager", after incorrectly removing a USB flash drive

    I stupidly, twice - after using USB flash drives - just shot when he in fact without removing them properly. Now, they are listed at all times in my 'Device Manager' and in 'my computer '. I went into Device Manager and tried to uninstall them. It seemed to work but the next time I booted up Vista found drivers and now they are back in 'my computer' and Device Manager. This does not seem to be a problem, but I would like to get rid of them.

    It is contextual advertising. You should be able to eliminate one of the following. I suggest you have a file hosts and Adblock Plus with EasyList filter subscription.

    Extension "Adblock more."

    You also need the filters as "Easylist" subscription so after installation of

    BLOCKED TOO - with Adblock Plus - no problem:

    With the ease of blocking items in Adblock Plus occasionally, you can be too aggressive and suddenly disappear all over the page. Adblock Plus provides functionality to help you know more precisely what you block with on a page.

    As seen in the Preferences ("Ctrl + Shift + F"), ABP maintains separate groups
    -The filters that you created yourself (rules of Exception, blocking rules, element hiding rules)
    -Separate groups for each subscription filter

    The report of blockable items ("Ctrl + Shift + V"), it's where you go to see what is blockable, what is blocked and if blocked what the rule is on the line with the mouse hovering. It would also enable the source, so you can see if it was your rule. The right mouse button opens a context menu with options. I show the columns are {address, filter, type, State} selected to the right of the headings. I have sort by State so block appear in red at the top.

    You can use the report to make the changes you need.
    We'll see changes you make in the preferences.

  • Strange what's happening with my flash drive

    Hi guys

    I really hope you guys can help me. I use a MacBook Air version 10.10.5. I have been successfully using a flashdrive (PNY attached) with no problems. Now, all of a sudden, when I tried to save a document, he said that I could not save it (automatic backup). He listens to me. Even when I tried to save it in another area of the flash player, it would still not save. I wanted to know how much storage is on the flash drive, and here's what he says: "free 995,2 MB 442 KB." This means that I still have KB 553,2 left, right? -What are my calculations correct? So why is this, just below the storage space, it says something COMPLETELY DIFFERENT! He demonstrated a blue area marked 'Other' who says I used 985,3 MB and I used 9. 5 MB in photos. In other words, there is no disk space. I have almost nothing on this flash drive. What in the world is happening? Can someone help me please?

    Rae

    More brightly have a small switch on the side that allows you to lock the drive. Check the padlock sign.

    No, your math says you have 0.442 free MB of total 995,2 MB on the drive which is essentially nothing for free.  You have something else taking up the 994. something MB of the drive.

    We must also not forget to emtpty trash when flash drives are attached. They have their own waste.
