In Windows To Go mode, IronKey Control Panel runs automatically when you boot Windows from the device.
You do not have to unlock the device to start the application. The device unlocks when you authenticate in the
IronKey Workspace Preboot environment. Locking the device does not apply in Windows To Go mode; instead,
you must shutdown the Windows operating system. For more information, see “Unplugging the device” on
page 24.
