Most people can't turn off BitLocker in Windows 11 because they don't know what it is and how to turn it off.
BitLocker provides the function of encrypting hard drives to protect data from data theft and hacker attacks. It's built into Windows since Windows 8 and is also available in Windows 10, Windows 11 Enterprise, Education, and Pro editions, but not Home editions.
BitLocker-encrypted drives can only be unlocked or decrypted using the BitLocker password or the BitLocker recovery key that was set when encrypted. Without proper authentication, no one can access it. BitLocker uses the AES encryption algorithm (Advanced Encryption Standard) and a 128-bit or 256-bit key to encrypt data on the drive.
BitLocker is automatically enabled in Windows 11, which can be a problem if you don’t know what you’re dealing with. Read on to learn how to disable BitLocker encryption.
BitLocker is an encryption tool developed specifically for Windows that can encrypt system drives to avoid data theft. BitLocker works by using a hardware element called a TPM (Trusted Platform Module) and generates a recovery key for the encrypted hard drive to use every time you start your computer.
If you forget your password, you will also get a recovery key. You should store these recovery keys in a safe location so they can be accessed at any time if your computer is locked.
By default, PCs with Windows 11 automatically encrypt drives without your knowledge because Microsoft believes this is best for their users. This means that if you do not save the recovery key, you may lose all your data.
Suppose you are updating your PC and your PC malfunctions due to a defective update or other reasons. What you would usually do is take it to a PC repair shop and recover your data, then copy it to another drive for later use after the PC is repaired.
If you don't have the key, you won't be able to access the encrypted drive or copy the data on it. Not having a Bitlocker key can cause Bitlocker's protection of your data to become a threat, even if it normally protects your data.
Tip BitLocker fully encrypts your drive, maybe you just want to encrypt a folder.⇒ Get folder lock
