How about that feature where if you want to encrypt your Windows device it is mandatory to send the password to Microsoft. Yep, that's how device encryption has worked on Windows since 8.

Yep. Its sent to Microsoft for 'safe keeping' for 'your benefit' to aid in 'recovery', uh huh it might have that side effect but in my eyes its just an key collection mechanism to defeat popularizing easy encryption. Even then, bitlocker is fucked I have no doubt the crypto is backdoored anyway

I haven't had any problems enabling BitLocker with a local account. What are you seeing that prevents this?

Not true. You can save it to a flash drive or print it. As long as you do this you don't have to save it to your MSA.

This was the most hair-brained feature ever. You really need to keep an eye on these guys.

And people don't understand why I don't trust Microsoft...

Somehow I have a feeling this is not going to be the last Windows 10 (mis)feature to end up removed...

The worst part is that they are 'fixing' non-problems. Shit is cached all over the place there's no need for this.
