I was using my laptop when suddenly a notification popped up saying BitLocker was activated. I'm not sure why this happened as I didn't intentionally turn it on. Could it be due to a recent update or some security setting I might have accidentally triggered?

The purpose of BitLocker is to safeguard sensitive information by encrypting it, making it inaccessible to unauthorized parties.

BitLocker encryption, a security feature designed to protect data on devices, is frequently activated with deliberate intent.

The activation of BitLocker can be initiated by a user who possesses full administrative access to the device.

This user could potentially be the device's owner, another authorized user, or even an organization tasked with managing the device.

It is important to note that BitLocker's activation is not a random occurrence but rather a conscious decision made by someone with the necessary permissions.
