Comment on Microsoft is enabling BitLocker device encryption by default on Windows 11

  Clearly you didn’t do any machine recovery during that fiasco or you wouldn’t ask. When the machines crashed the only fix was to get in and delete the offending file, but as Windows wouldn’t load up you had to unlock the drive to get in with a working OS.

    Ok, but what lesson was Microsoft supposed to learn from the Crowdstrike fiasco that have to do with the implementation of Bitlocker in personal devices?

    Are you suggesting that OS drive encryption should never be implemented due to the fact that computers might sometimes need to be accessed without the OS booting up? That doesn’t really make sense. That’s what Bitlocker keys are for, to unlock the drive if needed.

      OK buddy, you can be right if it’s that important to you.

        I don’t know everything about what happened during the Crowdstrike fiasco since it didn’t directly affect my company, so I’m asking questions. I don’t really care about being right. If you were talking about something I don’t know, I’m glad to learn new things about that incident. Why get defensive on something like this instead of just clarifying your point?
