    Accidentaly clicked on bitlocker device encryption (W10 home)


    So, since I have open shell, every program shows up, this was when i was searching for device manager and I accidentally clicked on the "BitLockerDeviceEncryption.exe" program. I'm scared to reboot and get prompted to type in a decryption key. Does the program even do anything in W10 home? Thanks!
