📎 AI Summary:
The original poster in the WindowsForum thread inquires about WMI APIs to check the status of a drive encrypted with BitLocker, specifically whether it is write-protected, after unlocking. A respondent suggests using PowerShell commands: `Get-BitLockerVolume` for BitLocker-specific details and `Get-Disk | ? { $_.IsReadOnly -eq $True }` to determine if a disk is read-only. The overall discussion provides practical command-line methods to check drive status rather than specific WMI API usage.

For bitlocker specific details, from an elevated Powershell prompt type Get-BitLockerVolume or optionally add | fl * at the end for more details.
To see if a disk is read-only, in Powershel, run the following command
Get-Disk | ? { $_.IsReadOnly -eq $True } or just do Get-Disk | fl * and look for isReadOnly
