Arrr, me hearties! Microsoft be makin' a blunder of grand proportions by addin' auto-encryption to Windows 11! They be messin' with our pirate ways of plunderin' and pillagin'! Shiver me timbers, what be next? Aye, they be walkin' the plank for this one!
Arrr, mateys! BitLocker, Microsoft’s encryption for SSDs, be sailin' into troubled waters with the upcoming Windows 11 version 24H2 update. Reports say this update may be triggerin' BitLocker by default during installation, causin' a whole heap o' problems for users.One major issue be the sloth-like performance ye may experience, with yer PC's speed droppin' by as much as 45% in Windows Pro. This be due to constant encryption and decryption processes happenin' while yer computer be tryin' to read and write data on yer SSD.
Another concern be that users who be not savvy with encryption could accidentally encrypt their data and then not be able to decrypt it later. And let's not forget the security flaw - BitLocker's encryption can be cracked with ease, as demonstrated by a YouTuber.
Thankfully, there be a simple fix to this auto-encryption conundrum. Ye just need to disable Device Encryption in Privacy & security settings. But many landlubber Windows 11 users may not be aware of this option.
We can only hope that Microsoft will listen to the squawks of the crew and disable this auto-encryption feature before the update sets sail. It be causin' more trouble than it be worth, me hearties!
