BitLocker locks all drives other than C: drive on windows 10 Dell machine

Windows10 asked me to force restart the windows system to install latest updates. After restarting the machine it locks all the drives except C: drive.

I am using Dell with Windows 10. I am able to manage to deactivate the BitLocker for C: drive using below command: C:>$BLV=Get-BitLockerVolume C:>Disable-BitLocker -MountPoint $BLV

But for other drives it throw an error like "Disable-BitLocker : This drive is locked by BitLocker Drive Encryption. You must unlock this drive from Control Panel." I have checked the option from Control Panel also but it shows C: drive only and not my other drives.

I have already tried to disable the BitLocker from Bios settings also. I tried to store the BitLocker key also but the same is not matched for any other drive.

Devices and drives screenshot Control panel showing only C: Drive

Can someone please help me to resolve this issue? Let me know if you need anymore details.

did you try to go to the particular drive that is locked and right click to manage bitlocker and turn off bitlocker?
