The feature is now part of the latest preview build
Microsoft has added a new feature in the latest Windows 11 preview build that makes it possible for IT admins to exclude USB drives from BitLocker encryption. This obviously makes sense for devices that don’t necessarily require the feature, such as video cameras, with the company explaining that IT admins can configure the new option with a special policy. Needless to say, this feature comes in handy mostly to IT admins, and setting up the exclusions for BitLocker encryption isn’t exactly the most straightforward process. The company has provided instructions on how to do this on this page, but as a summary, you can do the whole thing by creating a custom template using the hardware ID of the device you want to exclude using a new profile in Intune.
