Microsoft is enabling BitLocker device encryption by default on Windows 11
(www.theverge.com)
I hope it does not affect performance
If you read that article it's only slow on systems that don't have hardware acceleration, which basically isn't any system from the past half a decade at least (and definitely not anything that would have a compatible TPM)

Clownstrike taught them nothing..
What does Crowdstrike have to do with Bitlocker?
Clearly you didn't do any machine recovery during that fiasco or you wouldn't ask. When the machines crashed the only fix was to get in and delete the offending file, but as Windows wouldn't load up you had to unlock the drive to get in with a working OS.
Ok, but what lesson was Microsoft supposed to learn from the Crowdstrike fiasco that have to do with the implementation of Bitlocker in personal devices?
Are you suggesting that OS drive encryption should never be implemented due to the fact that computers might sometimes need to be accessed without the OS booting up? That doesn't really make sense. That's what Bitlocker keys are for, to unlock the drive if needed.
