Windows 10: Why Windows encrypt my disk without my permission?

Just today this 'Full device encryption' thing cost me one partition when i tried 'sudo ntfsfix' on Ubuntu Even when hibernation or any kind of disk encryption was off on Windows.I couldn't get it to work on Windows and Ubuntu.When i tried to recover the lost partition on Windows, it crashed my PC and wasn't showing on boot. Inside 'BIOS>Boot menu' wasn't showing the SSD. Then i booted to Ubuntu live boot to check my disks. It shows my SSD, the entire SSD shows no partition in it. https://ibb.co/y6HcZ7KThis is unbelievable!I was on dual boot almost for a year. Never had any issue

Help! File permission errors in encrypted folder

Hi Bill,

To assist you better, I would like to ask some questions:

• Are you the Administrator of the computer?
• Are you connected to a domain network?

I suggest you to decrypt the folder by following the steps below and check if it helps.

• Right-click the folder or file you want to decrypt, and then click Properties.
• 
  Click the General tab, and then click Advanced.
  
• 
  Clear the Encrypt contents to secure data check box, click
  OK, and then click OK again.
  

Keep us posted on the status for further assistance.

 

Windows XP file encryption

My suggestion to you is to look into what kind of encryption the program used, and look for a way to break that type of encryption. Sorry I can't say a specific program for sure.
