Windows 10: BitLocker status "ON" but Account Shows Status "OFF"

Hi All,


I am making a set of small assumptions around BitLocker here. So feel free to point and laugh if I have got it all wrong.

I recently turned BitLocker on for all my drives and selected my Microsoft account as my recovery key location.


My BitLocker manager within Windows indicated that Encryption is done and all drives have BitLocker turned "ON".

However, I noticed that within my Microsoft Account Manager on the browser, all three drives have my BitLocker status as "OFF".


Assuming the "OFF" is an indicator as to if BitLocker is enabled or disabled, why do I have an "ON" status within Windows and "OFF" on my Microsoft account?

BitLocker Status question?


Hello Win10Freak,

Here's what the status will show for used disk space only.

 

Bitlocker status when suspended?

Hello,

IMO, the BitLocker won't suspend itself unless you command Windows to do so.

If it is showing ON status atm, I believe the data on stolen system is still encrypted and safe.

I hope you've reported this to local police so that they may track your laptop and help you to get it back asap.

Regards.

 

BitLocker Status question?


Hi guys,

I read this great tutorial posted here.
https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/3...dows-10-a.html

When I enabled BitLocker, I selected to encrypt the ENTIRE drive instead of the used disk space only.

My question is, what would the MANAGE-BDE -STATUS show under Conversion Status if I would of had selected the option to encrypt USED Disk Space Only?
Would it still show as FULLY ENCRYPTED?

Any examples please would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
