Windows 11/10: Prevent Auto-Encryption of Moved Files

If you prefer keeping your files and folder encrypted, you might have run into the EFS or Encryption File System algorithm. This is an inbuilt feature of Windows 11 and Windows 10 and helps the user in securing their precious data. There is an alternate way of securing the user’s data on Windows 11/10, but the main advantage of EFS over BitLocker is the fact that it can help users encrypt a particular folder rather than encrypting the whole hard drive partition.

We will be trying the following methods to try to enable or disable automatic Encryption of files moved to Encrypted folders on Windows 10:

1] Using the Register Editor Method

2] Using the Group Policy Editor Method

Timecodes:
0:00 Intro
