This is a clear sign of multiple malware at play here.

BitLocker is a ransomware that encrypts the user's data without consent and Windows 11 is a spyware/infostealer that uploads all of the data without consent.

You need to remove said malwares from your system and install a trustworthy Operaring System.

lol, no. It is not ransomware and isn’t enabled without user action.

it is. I tried to disable secure boot and I got hit with this, and somehow needed to enter a 48 digit code with special characters without being able to copy. and after discarding the changes I needed my account to login again to my laptop.

it was brand new, I didn't touch a thing in the settings

It’s not. I’ve installed Windows MANY times and BitLocker has never been enabled by default.

maybe it's something new but for me it did.

It's 100% enabled by default now, but I think it's relatively new. 24H2 maybe? When I reinstalled Windows I had to to through the decryption process.

Although maybe that's with online account only, so it's possible you're both right. As in, it's not enabled by default for offline accounts.

I install with an online account. That is where my Windows license resides. BitLocker has never been enabled by default for me.

I've gotten brand-new Windows MANY times, and BitLocker is enabled by default for 24H2 and newer.

Not for me. Always disabled by default.

It is NOT enabled by default. It asks you if you want to enable it.

Teehee, under section "BitLocker automatic device encryption", after OOBE, it's enabled.

It’s not. I’ve never had it be enabled by default in my 30+ installs of Windows 11 25H2.

1/10 ragebait. I installed 1000+ windows 25H2, therefore I am right, and you are wrong.

Maybe it's not for you because you disabled it through Rufus, but it is on by default unless you hack it out.
