Don't want bitlocker and how to turn it off?
BitLocker, is it on or off? I do not want it on this machine. It is in a safe place used to monitor equipment with many users. No Microsoft account. It says it has it, it says not activated.
Make sure TPM and Secure boot is enabled on your system. Once you have these enabled, BitLocker will be activated. It can be then easily deactivated from BitLocker section in Control Panel.
If this doesn't works, refer other suggestions here:
