I got this query while distrohopping. On Linux I have to enter my password erveytime I boot to decrypt the disk. But on windows I never had to do it. The first time windows bitlocker asked for password was when I booted into windows after installed Linux. Why is it so?
It also protects you from malicious apps running outside of windows - they can’t manipulate the file system. Also an attacker would have hard time breaking into your disk/OS if they get control of your machine. If
hethey try to boot from another device, bitlocker won’t decrypt the windows partition automatically.
