    Hard Drive Icon shows unlock icon. e76d75e4-4287-40ca-b122-cabf2910ff60?upload=true.jpg

    I have a laptop with Windows 10 Home preinstalled. I don't no why my Volume icon shows unlock icon. I think its of Windows Bitlocker. But mine is Windows 10 home, it doesn't have bitlocker. When I turned on Windows Hello Face Login on my laptop, this unlock icon came. Also when I tried to boot into safe mode, Windows came for Bitlocker recovery key. But I neither have any Bitlocker password nor any recovery key. Please help.

    :)

  2. hard drive icon?

    Hi, i am trying to change my hard drive icon and have never done it before. I searched and found a little guide but it didnt work. I downloaded an icon from iconarchive.com and so its a single icon in an ico file type.

    It opened notepad and typed:

    [autorun]

    icon=C:\"the file extenstion".ico

    and saved it as "C:\autrun.inf"

    but this is how it turned out:
