Windows 10: "Device encryption" setting in Windows 11 Home has disappeared - do I still have device...

There was another question similar to this in Aug 2020. It was unanswered but is closed not sure why Microsoft does this."Device encryption" is normally the third option from the top on the "Privacy & security" screen. It is available on PC's that meet security criteria drive type, driver, tpm, secure boot , etc.. It simply disappears when the criteria are not met. Microsoft should change this and leave it on the screen and gray it out with a proper message about why it is not available.I have found one unexpected reason why "Device encryption" is there and then suddenly can disapp

:)

 

There is no device encryption setting.

Hi Андрей Снегов,

I am Dave, I will help you with this.

If Device Encryption is not available in that section in the Settings app, your hardware does not support Device Encryption in Windows 11.

device encryption

All apps » Settings » System » Device encryption » Device encryption: On

That encrypts just the internal phone memory and not the microSD, yet. Therefore:

• All apps » Settings » System » About » More info: Please, post (just) your OS build
• Did you try a new microSD already and did that face the same issue?

 

Device encryption is not showing in settings

>Once turned off the device encryption after that I am trying to turn it back on but can't found device encryption
