When I installed Windows 10 Bitlocker was turned on from the get go. I didn't choose it. Then it grumbled that it was "waiting for activation", which led me to the superuser post I linked to.
- quietbritishjim 3y agoAh ok that's different. Yes you want the computer to be (effectively) unencrypted until you say so, but that should be really clear too.
- mewse-hn 3y agoYep Microsoft has started trying to do bitlocker-by-default, it sits at "waiting for activation" until the user signs into windows with a microsoft account and then it ties the bitlocker to the person's microsoft account. Then an errant bios update can brick the computer. (Please don't) ask me how I know.
