This didn't work for me. Is there a recent update that took away the option to enable EFS from the command prompt? I restarted and still cannot use this feature. @ammarjaved

Same here. I reckon that the 'Device Encryption' option under the 'Privacy and Security' settings should be present on the computer in order to enable EFS, innit?

You would think so but it's not available on Windows 11 as far as I'm seeing unless it's reserved to Enterprise users. @Shubham1595

Have you checked for it in Windows 11 Pro?                                            If what you're claiming is the fact, what do you think makes it exclusive to Windows 11 Enterprise?@bmloveoffficial

It only works if your computer's hardware supports EFS. See the following article.
