  1. How can I re-enable encryption?


    In the last couple of weeks, my Dell Inspiron 5379 has regularly had me go through Bitlocker Recovery to log in. Sometimes this would happen when booting up from being fully shut down. Other times it would occur when just waking up from sleep.I disabled encryption, hoping to turn it back on immediately afterwards and potentially get out of the Bitlocker loop. But now when I go into my settings, there are no encryption options anymore. Is there any way to make those reappear?

    :)

    Enable Encryption

    Along the Browser bar I keep getting the message "Enable Encryption" as someone may be able to access my passwords and sensitive information. How do I enable encryption?
