    Windows 10 Pro Encryption


    I have a strange problem that I have tested on 3 machines. I'm testing folder encryption. I have windows 10 pro and create a folder on the desktop called test and add a couple of word docs to it. I right click on the folder, go to properties and select advanced, I click on encrypt folder and files and say ok. After a minute or so the lock appears on the folder.

Then I open the folder I copied and can open the word docs. What am I

    :)
