Bitlocker menu in Control Panel is gone!!!!!

Hi,

From the above screenshot I see that you are not able to access or see the Bitlocker Drive Encryption in Control Panel, i suggest you to change the view of the Control panel and then check if you are able to access or view it.

Follow the below steps and check if it helps.

• Type Control Panel in the Search bar and then Enter.
• Select the View by options in the upper right pane.
• In Category select the small icons and then check if you can view the Bitlocker Drive Encryption option.

Hope this information is helpful. Please do let us know if you need further assistance, we’ll be glad to assist you.

 

Bitlocker

Hi,

Some background

• I have a Lenovo / Windows 10 laptop. It was purchased 2 years ago and I have never encountered or installed BitLocker on it.
• I am at university and access my university account through the laptop - OneDrive, Office 365, Outlook etc.

The problem

• On starting my laptop, I am asked for the BitLocker recovery key.
  • To retrieve the key it provides a link which directs me to my university account (microsoft account), however I have no privileges (+ don't have the encryption key).
  • I am also given a key ID & the Drive Label for my laptop.
• I phoned my Uni IT support, who were not very helpful and said as it was a personal laptop they could not be of any assistance.
• I would rather not reinstall Windows as I have my Uni notes on the laptop.

Questions

• Which of the below is possible.
  • Bitlocker was preinstalled on my computer and somehow got triggered
  • Bitlocker was triggered due to my interactions with the universities applications, given that the link is to my university account.
    • Or could either of these be possible.

Summary

• Basically I would like to know if it is possible to confirm that it is the use of the universities applications that has resulted in the triggering of BitLocker and not something else?
