Cannot resume bitlocker after CU suspends it

This happens to many hundreds of our enterprise devices every month, after a cumulative update is installed on Windows. Bitlocker becomes suspended for multiple reboots. Ultimately, I'd like to solve the root of the problem by eliminating the suspension over several reboots. However, for now, I just want to manually resume BitLocker without forcing a reboot. Here's the situation. Notice that the protection status indicates that BitLocker is suspended, and it will resume after one more reboot - this just after booting up from the CU install..

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> manage-bde -status

Disk volumes that can be protected with

BitLocker Drive Encryption:

Volume C: [43V65H2]

[OS Volume]

Size:                 442.05 GB 

BitLocker Version:    2.0 

Conversion Status:    Fully Encrypted 

Percentage Encrypted: 100.0% 

Encryption Method:    XTS-AES 128 

**Protection Status:    Protection Off (1 reboots left)** 

Lock Status:          Unlocked 

Identification Field: Unknown 

Key Protectors: 

    Numerical Password 

    TPM

During boot-up, we can detect this condition and execute some PowerShell, or run "manage-bde". However, we get these errors when trying to do either one:

PowerShell:

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Resume-BitLocker -MountPoint "C:"

Is there any way to resume BitLocker manually, when it is in the state of "Protection Off (1 reboots left)"?
