No idea since when this is like that, did not realize it before in this context. I have googeledd that and figured out it is a sign that bitlocker is not activated. Now, just a few days ago I realized that on fresh Dell notebook installs, factory image of Dell, the C-drive (it's usually our only drive) is shown with a yellow exclamation mark in file explorer. Now the employee has made a strange observation: People use a group policy to control bitlocker encryption so that users are asked if they want to do so before encrypting. In our company we have a global GPO which, if one wants to encrypt his harddrive with BitLocker, to be prompted to save the recovery key txt file on a certain share, BitLocker key is also saved to computer object in AD… But this is optional, none is forced to do so.
#TPM FOR BITLOCKER ON AN HP DC9700 WINDOWS 10#
Since a while we are experiencing some strange behavior with Windows 10 (I think it only apply to Creators update), Dell Notebooks and Bitlocker. There, the thread creator refers to Dell notebooks, where an IT employee noticed a strange behavior. I then looked in the Internet and found this thread BitLocker turns on without a notice in Technet from October 2017. Is there anything in the "system architecture" that triggers this behavior? Seems to be the case with Windows 10 It's the first time I've bought a notebook with an Intel i7 processor. However, he is surprised about this unusual behavior, which he cannot explain. The user was able to decrypt the drives using the Control Panel. But my drives C and D were encrypted with BitLocker again. All installations went smoothly and as expected. With this image I have already installed about 50 PCs and Notebooks. So I reinstalled it with the MS-Image 1809. At first I suspected a bug in the latest version of Windows 10. The drives C and D were encrypted with BitLocker without my intervention.

I reinstalled Windows 10 Pro 圆4 with a Microsoft ISO image (1903).īut there was a big surprise. In this forum thread a user describes the problem:Įarlier this week my new ProBook 430 G5 (2UB47EA) has been delivered. The problem is that on Windows 10 Pro, when reinstalling on an HP ProBook 430 G5, partitions are automatically encrypted with Bitlocker. I came across a curiosit in the German HP forum. First of all: Users who are using Windows 10 Home will not be affected by the following hints.
