Hi. Anybody got an idea as to why these drives are displaying a warning (yellow triangle with exclamation mark)? Where else can I look?

 

Drive D: previously was internal to the PC, connected to the NVME slot. I've now moved it into an external USB enclosure & added drive J:

 

 

No errors in the drive properties & nothing specific in the Windows Event logs.

Just looking at those pictures, is it not to do with Bitlocker?

That means Bitlocker is suspended on that drive. You can resume it through Control Panel.

Had this today on a machine. Simplest if you can’t work the above is to type bitlocker into the start menu search, navigate to the setting and turn it on.
