How to enable disk encryption in Windows 11? Does Windows 11 home encrypt hard drive by default?

 All apps > Windows Tools. Right click on System Information and select Run as administrator. When the System Information window opens, on System Summary, scroll down and locate Device Encryption Support. If it's Value is Meets prerequisites, then you can enable Device Encryption on your system

if you clean install Windows 11 later this year or buy a new PC with 24H2 installed, BitLocker device encryption will be enabled by default. If you just upgrade to 24H2, Microsoft won't enable device encryption automatically. The feature could impact SSD performance on some devices.

Edges Of The Desktop Are Cut Off On Display Fix ~~~ windows 11 Dell laptop ~~~ well it got something to do with the bizarre HDMI scaling

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8JOg_9YcSI&t=198s

an excellent You tube fix for my second monitor display size cut off problem

it is called HDMI scaling

I disconnect my Dell midday

then reconnected in the afternoon

ah .. shit...

the taskbar got cut off at the bottom on the second screen (an old Samsung syncmaster)

so annoying

its something called custom scaling ~~ HDMI

my dell happen to have the Intel Xe graphics command center installed

start the app and do the custom scaling, well things got back to where it was

 update: early in the morning when I start the laptop again, the external monitor appear shrank, so I started Intel graphics command center again, choose the external monitor, then the screen stretched out again, then I had to adjust the scaling again, what a start for the day

 update: I have to keep the Intel graphics command center up and running, so my 2nd screen will not swell and shrink between hibernations / sleeps

why my dell laptop feels warm in the morning after sleep mode ?

 bit disappointing

some settings not in the modern win 11 settings

some power options are still in traditional power options

run --- control

 where the device goes to Hibernate or Shutdown when lid is closed, follow these steps:

  1. Go to Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Power Options.
  2. Select "Choose what closing the lid does" on the left panel.
  3. Set the "When I close the lid" option to Sleep for both On battery and Plugged in.


on my laptop, I clicked enable hibernate appear on start menu
 
and changed a few other settings
