Windows 10: Installed Bitlocker does not ask for password on computer start-up!

OK. I may annoy some people with this comment, but .... feel free to delete it if it is bothersome.
I feel the poster had a good complaint - no boot password.
And I feel one of the responders provided some excellent comments (including that the password file is encrypted) in response to the "it's easy to hack the Windows login password) poster.

I've been in this business for 35 years and I am slow to condemn software developers, including Microsoft. It doesn't take much effort to call them uncaring or incompetent. I've written code and believe me - it ain't easy. If it were so easy Microsoft couldn't command the prices they command (and Mr. Gates wouldn't be rich). It's hard.

It turns out that the TPM (no boot password) system is damned good AND seamless. The value of no boot password is that the PC can be accessed remotely by the owner (from the road) or his tech support person.

I also use BestCrypt, which requires a boot password. It took me a while to consider not having one. If fact, that consideration brought me to this thread. BitLocker is good. It notices if the Boot Loader changes. It protects against the hard drive being removed.

My advice: Go easy on the condemnation until you've become more expert. This thread has made me more expert on BitLocker.

I came to BitLocker because I had one machine that just wouldn't tolerate BestCrypt (an otherwise superb product with excellent technical support). I too bristled at the no-boot-password issue. I began to learn about TPM.

After reading this article, I am more convinced then ever that Microsoft has created a fine product. But, it takes some extra study. (and Microsoft tech-support is often poor).
Please go a little easier (and slower) on the frustration-induced condemnation. It's distracting to me. These are complex software systems. Microsoft developers are hardly perfect. They are a mercenary company. But they are not a bunch of uncaring, incompetent fools.
Or as the bard said: "Know your song well before you start singing". More study, less whining.
Now go ahead and delete this provocative post. I fully understand.
