CONFIGURATION
In order not to get into complications, after launching the tool we can open the option of quick settings, set a password and start using USB Raptor as soon as possible.

LOCK THE SCREEN
After removing the USB flash drive and activating the program, we will see the following window. There is no default password entry window, it appears when you double-click with the mouse, cyber security awareness experts point out.

Of course, the lock screen is not very good, but it can be customized in the advanced settings. In the same place, record the automatic startup of the service when the operating system starts. You can disable the network unlock feature with password or batch, leaving only USB unlock.

While the app may crash depending on the operating system it’s used on due to an apparent configuration change, generally speaking USB Raptor works quite well and can be functional for many users.
