Windows 10: Bitlocker encryption disabled

I kept getting The bitlocker recovery key screen upon starting my computer requiring me to enter the recovery key each time to get my machine to boot-up. A person I know disabled the encryption with the manage.bde commands. I no longer get the bitlocker recovery key screen on start-up but I am wondering if I have a compromised system? I use this machine to access all my financial accounts. Should I be concern?

Disable Automatic Bitlocker Encryption

If AES-128 is equally secure as AES-256, then I’ll just leave it set as Automatic Encryption.

Even MS decided to drop the BitLocker AES-256 requirement from their Security Baseline.

Would disabling Secure Boot before installing Windows should disable the Automatic Bitlocker Encryption in case I decide to disable it?

BitLocker Encryption not disabling

I need some help with my BitLocker Drive Encryption.

Every time I log into my Laptop, my drives are all encrypted, meaning that I have to get a key every time. This is really annoying as I access these drives very often. I tried for hours to find a way to disable this in my setting and nothing worked.

I run Windows 11 Home. I've tried command prompts, settings, control panel, bitlocker encryption tool, and nothing has worked. When trying to disable it in the settings, it says that the tool does not exist.

This all started happening when I replaced my SSD with a larger one, a few weeks ago.
