  Called it. Enabling bitlocker by default for all Win11 users was going to bite them in the ass.

    The protection of FDE is the carrot they give to get you to enable TPM 2.0. The stick is the remote attestation which can be used for nefarious purposes like DRM and other types of denial/system lockdown at Microsoft’s discretion.

    It’s true it’s hard to motivate people into taking a better security posture for themselves but forcing them like this doesn’t come from a good and sincere place.

      “Protection” that require you to create an account and have the key auto-uploaded to their servers before the encryption is active. Not even a secret, they literall tell you they will upload your key. Lol

  I see introducing AI into the coding process has gone very well for Microsoft.
