I recently started encrypting all of our machines with Bitlocker. After doing so, the file explorer goes not responding on most of our machines when we insert a USB drive. Sometimes rebooting resolves the issue, but only for a minute. If you eject, and then unplug the USB drive... file explorer just freezes up again when you plug the USB back in.

I've played around some with the Local Group Policy settings for Bitlocker regarding Removable Data Drives, but I haven't found a solution as of yet.

Has anyone else encountered this with Bitlocker?

Note: the USB drives themselves are not encrypted, just the internal SSDs.
