DoNotAutomaticallyEncryptDevices
[This documentation is preliminary and is subject to change.]
DoNotAutomaticallyEncryptDevices prevents encrypting the operating system drive and any fixed data drive using Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption. Device encryption is a feature available on Windows 8.1 PCs that supports InstantGo. When a user boots the PC for the first time and goes through the out-of-the-box experience, device encryption, on initialization, will automatically encrypt the operating system drive and any fixed data drive using BitLocker.
Use this setting to prevent device encryption from automatically encrypting the operating system drive and any fixed data drive using BitLocker.
