      And leaving the process at 0.1% so the user can have a good experience waiting for drives to encrypt. When turning on their new computer. And there is no progress bar, lol.

      Oh wonderful.

      Rural are IT guy here. Ever since Windows 10 began pushing for Microsoft Accounts linked to your computer profile, we’ve had an increase of locked accounts we can’t recover. BUT, we could at least recover vast majority of the profile data and make a new, local, profile.

      Now with the drive encrypted, more people who don’t know anything about the MS account they were forced to make, will lose more data.

      Make the MS account setup REQUIRE setting up recovery options. Two, at least an email and a phone number for, recovery options.

      it was enabled by default on my Asus laptop and I bought that back in 2021. It came with win 10 and was updated to 11 home. It’s been a double edged sword. Came in handy when I needed to RMA an SSD and didn’t have to worry about my contents being easily readable/recoverable but also was a pain in the ass when I was playing around with Ventoy and trying out different Linux distros and had to temporarily disable secure boot (nothing like having to type in a long ass key just to boot windows)

      Honestly? Good.

      Personally, as a user, I’d rather lose my data than have it compromised because my device got lost or stolen. Most users won’t understand that before it happens, but they’d at least be thankful that they’re not also a victim of identity theft after losing their laptop and data along with it.

      That said, we need to be loud and proud about national backup day, which I believe happens in February in the US.

      if it slows down your SSD by 45%, you might end up with a very cozy, yet sluggish, blanket. 😅🔐

      I feel like this is old news. Windows 10 has been doing this for a long time hasn’t it?

      Decrypt your drives since it has been default for a time now, especially if you do your own maintenance. Almost had a heart attack when one of the drives suddenly didn’t read from a hardware upgrade, a transfer to larger boot NVME, made the SATA drive unreadable in the same machine.

      Still, US government really needs to LOOK for the modern M$ scams which are Teams and Onedrive. Especially OneDrive that ruins work and school documents of unwilling users from missing files, hijacked by their cloud storage.
