    I don't see device encryption optionon Windows 11


    I recently turned off the device encryption on Windows 11 Home due to system restoration issues. But now when I try to enable it, it's nowhere to be found under the "Privacy & Security" settings. I am running the account as an Administrator and have checked the system information which shows the device encryption support is not available. I have also tried restarting in safe boot but the drive encryption feature is gone. I have Malwarebytes installed in addition to Windows Defender.

    :)

    Hello Miriam,

    For us to be able to isolate your concern why your devices page says it is not encrypted when you've turn on encryption, kindly answer these questions:

    • Does this happen before you encrypt the device?
