Update Dell Encryption Enterprise or Dell Encryption Personal to 10.2.1 or later, to resolve these UI issues, which can be found at https://www.dell.com/support/home/product-support/product/dell-data-protection-encryption/drivers Note: This issue does not affect the product functionality and it continues to protect data, except for devices that are leveraging Opt-in (Deferred) Activation or Server Encryption. A work-around on versions before Dell Encryption v10.2.1 is to remove any Microsoft Windows cumulative and security updates from or after March 12, 2019.
