Today on my home computer running Windows 10 Pro 64-bit (1511), I have a dialog box popping up telling me to:
"Back up your file encryption certificate and key"
The dialog has 3 options. "Back up now (recommend)", "Back up later", and "Never back up". The title of the dialog box is labeled "Encrypting File System".
I'm a little confused why this is popping up? I verified that I do not have BitLocker enabled. I installed Windows 10 from scratch to a brand new and blank hard drive 5 days ago. I have not enabled or intentionally encrypted any individual files or folders.
I have 3 hard drives in my computer and all are setup as NTFS drives.
What is causing the message to pop up? Is there some unknown encryption going on that I am not aware of? How might I determine that and then turn that off?
Thanks for any help you can provide. (Below is the dialog box that popped up.)
