HP and Microsoft recommend enabling encryption on any systems that support encryption. Use one of the following options to correct the issue.
Option 1: Log on using an MSA or AAD account to enable the automatic device encryption feature:
-
Click Start, then select
Settings (gear icon).
-
Select
System.
-
Select
About My PC under the message:
You need a Microsoft account to finish encrypting this device.
-
Click
Sign in with a Microsoft account instead.
-
Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the encryption.
Option 2: Manually encrypt the drive
Enable BitLocker with the local account and store the encryption recovery key as a file on a USB device
OR
Join the computer to an Active Directory domain and enable Bitlocker.
Option 3: Modify the registry to prevent automatic device encryption (not recommended)
caution:
Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
Before you modify the registry, make sure to back it up and make sure that you understand how to restore the registry if a problem occurs.. If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. HP cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly.
