Microsoft is investigating a bug triggering security alerts on systems with a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) processor after enabling BitLocker.

BitLocker and Device Encryption are critical tools for protecting a PC’s data from thieves. Here’s everything you need to know about the encryption technologies built into Windows 10 and 11.

Various versions of Windows include the option to use BitLocker, which is Microsoft’s built-in encryption tool. Here’s what to know.

In the upcoming 24H2 update, Microsoft introduced BitLocker encryption as a default feature for Windows 11, ensuring automatic data security on new and clean installations.

Microsoft warned that some Windows devices will boot into BitLocker recovery after installing the July 2024 Windows security updates.

The ShrinkLocker ransomware exploits the BitLocker feature on enterprise PCs to encrypt the entire local drive and remove recovery options.

If Microsoft had been planning to implement BitLocker more widely, that could explain the strict requirement for Windows 11 machines to have a TPM.

A new report suggests Microsoft may be enabling BitLocker encryption by default on Windows 11 24H2 PCs. What's interesting is that the report suggests that this may happen on Home editions too.

Taking the time to review network encryption settings other than those in BitLocker needs much more review and examination to ensure thorough and consistent security.
