Even if you enable Secure Boot, you can disable BitLocker, and that will prevent this from happening.

The only thing BitLocker really does is make it so that if somebody steals your computer and doesn't have your password, all of your files will be encrypted, so they don't get your files too.

Depending on your risk preference, it is okay to disable it.

Of course, if your computer does not have a password, or if the password is something really easy, then there's no point in bitlocker in the first place.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
