Good day,

So I don't use my laptop often. Not too long ago I had an issue where a bunch of icons on my desktop disappeared. I didn't understand why but it didn't bother me. Next some apps wouldn't want to install. Now I noticed why. I think the drive has been encrypted. Trouble is I don't use anything like bitlocker. Here is a screenshot of the problem:

As you can see, there is no option to decrypt the drive. I don't even have bitlocker installed. Anyone know what I should do?

What does it say if you search bitlocker in settings?
