    FINAL UPDATE Bitlocker enabled itself and encrypted my device


    Bitlocker, as the title says, has encrypted my device for an unknown reason. Upon attempting to get the recovery key, it attempted to send a comfirmation code to a nonexistent email. Upon changing the email, it said I had to wait 30 days for the new email to be changed, this is much, much too much time. I absolutely *cannot* wait that long to recover my data, my school schedule will not allow this and I will fall behind in my work by a huge amount. This is uncalled for and extremely frustrating.

    Windows 10 BitLocker Drive Encryption AND Device Encryption enabled?

    Recently I looked into enabling "BitLocker Drive Encryption" on Windows 10 Pro. After enabling it, I discovered that "Device Encryption" under Settings -> Update and Security -> Device Encryption was already enabled. This is a new Lenovo laptop from 12/2020,
    bought from Lenovo with Windows 10 installed. I never enabled Device Encryption, so I'm guessing it was enabled by default. Does it matter if both "Device Encryption" AND "BitLocker Drive Protection" are BOTH enabled? Should I disable one of them?
