    Bitlocker turned itself on??? Never seen this b4


    Windows v1909 18363 on a Dell Inspiron 15 - the original drive on this one failed. I installed a new SSD
    No biggie, right? So while setting up, updating windows, installing drivers etc, I noticed Bitlocker is ON. ??
    I never turned it on.

    how did this happen? It turned off and decrypted ok apparently when I turned the feature Off in Windows device encryption setting, but how on earth did this occur? I wonder now if there is a setting in the BIOS that Dell invented....

    :)

    Need to turn off Bitlocker to install Windows 10

    Hi,

    We suggest doing the following steps again to resolve the issue. To complete the procedure, make sure that you have the following information:

    • You must be able to provide administrative credentials.
    • The drive must be BitLocker-protected.
    To suspend BitLocker Drive Encryption on an operating system drive, please follow the steps below:

    • Click Start, click Control Panel, click
      System and Security, and then click BitLocker Drive Encryption.
    • Click Suspend Protection for the operating system drive.
    • A message is displayed, informing you that your data will not be protected while BitLocker is suspended and asking if you want to suspend BitLocker Drive Encryption.
    • Click Yes to continue and suspend BitLocker on the drive.

    Let us know how it goes.

    Bitlocker turned itself on: We have a Dell laptop in which a tech tried to install a USB to VGA dongle. In the process, the computer restarted and went into recovery mode.
