Comment on Windows 11 users reportedly losing data due to Microsoft's forcedWindows 11 users reportedly losing data due to Microsoft's forced BitLocker encryption
Bitlocker encrypts your drive, not single files. Once the computer is booted up, it’s completely transparent to the user.
But my PC doesn’t even have a password. So how can my files be encrypted? I thought a password was manditory for file encryption to work.
You probably haven’t activate Bitlocker. Up until now it was optional with Windows. I would argue it isn’t necessary for a desktop computer at home, but you should seriously consider activating disk encryption for a laptop.
TPM keys, and without your knowledge
