How do I enable device encryption in Windows 11 Home edition?

Thanks Tommy!

Setting ntfsDisableEncryption to 0 in the Registry Editor resolved the issue.

HelloAbet_993.



Welcome to Microsoft Community.



Regarding to your information I assume that you can't install the game from the Xbox app because of the following error:

Disk volume does not support file encryption.

From the Xbox support you offer and my experience of using the XGP, the game from the Xbox app doesn't need to open the Bitlocker.

And it seems that need the NTFS encryption feature.

So first please make sure that your disk is NTFS format, then try to install the game in your system volume to test whether the NTFS file

encrypt feature is open.

Right-click the volume and click the Properties





Check the File system.





If not the NTFS format you need to format it to NTFS.

Click Format and choose the NTFS format. Before that please back up the data in this volume.













Change this value to 0 after that reboot the system.





If still can't work please go to this path create a new value set the value as 0.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Policies

Right-click Policies and create a DWORD Value





The name is NtfsDisableEncryption Value is 0 after that reboot your computer and try it again.

The device isn't disabled, so clicked enable isn't an option. Beside that I've already tried disabling and re-enabling the device

Windows 11 22H2 is as up-to-date as it can be with drivers.

Also before you ask me to waste more time. I've removed the device and re-plugged it in... no change

I've turned my computer off and on again (always a good classic waste of time)

I've uninstalled the device and had windows re-add it.

So none of that works. Have you tested these devices with Windows 11 22H2?

By the way, are you on Windows 10 or Windows 11?
