search for Bitlocker.

We had an issue last week where a few of our office machines booted up and were asking for the Bitlocker Key. We had the keys for 3 of them but the other 2 we did not. Luckily we rebooted them, and they booted fine without asking for the code again. We then made a backup all all bitlocker codes for all machines in the building after that.

Device encryption is not available to me in Settings. Maybe since I don't sign into my machine using a Microsoft account, it doesn't make it available.

I ran the command prompt as arlo suggested and it says my drives are not encrypted, are unlocked, and that Bitlocker is not installed.

Thanks.

I just recently upgraded to Win11. How do you turn off disk encryption? I did a search and the instructions said to use the window key and type "manage encryption", but all that does is a search for how to. When I click on the how to, it just says to do the search. I haven't found any app or procedure for how to turn off disk encryption or Bitlocker.

When I go to Settings, Privacy and Security, there is no such option to disable disk encryption.

Thanks.
