    How to enable grayed out "Encrypt Contents to secure data" button.

    Hi,

    Encrypt Contents to secure data button should be available specially if you're using a Windows 10 PC. To help address your concern on encrypting files, kindly tell us details on the following:

    • Which build of Windows 10 are you using?
    • Are you using a Microsoft account or a local account?
    We look forward to your response.

    That is the first thing I tried after reading previous posts. AND that does not work. I tried again exactly what you suggested just to make sure, and still the "encrypt contents to secure data" is grayed out.
