Windows 11 encryption may damage data, Microsoft says
-
There appears to have been a flaw in the operation of a new data encryption hardware accelerator, supported by the newest processors from AMD and Intel, and used by apps like BitLocker.
As long as it isn't anything important
"Microsoft doesn’t mention what to do if you have already been hit by this data damage issue, but it does have fixes and workarounds ready. To prevent any (further) data damage, those using preview releases of the OS should grab the May 24 release, while users of regular Windows should grab the Jun 14 security update." and of course: "After applying those updates, you might notice slower performance for almost one month after you install them"

Congratulations on the successful encryption, at least!

They used the latest "post-quantum" encryption? [Post-quantum crypto cracked in an hour with one Xeon core • The Register](https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.theregister.com/AMP/2022/08/03/nist\_quantum\_resistant\_crypto\_cracked/)
