I am quite unsatisfied with the current state of full disk encryption solutions available for use with Windows 10 on a Laptop with SSD. This blag post will mirror some of what [Bruce Schneier already said on the matter][Schneier2]: I will discuss some of the options and point out problems. I am not offering a solution, just a variety of bad choices to pick from.

Ever since I started using Windows 10, it has been creating folders called "Camera Roll" and "Saved Pictures" in the "My Pictures" folder. It was the last straw. Applications had been creating subdirectories in the "My Documents" folder for ages now. Not again. The line must be drawn here. This far, no further. And I will make them pay for what they've done!

Are you also annoyed with the Windows lock screen? You know, the one you must swipe or click away before you can enter your login data. The one that doesn't even respond to shift anymore since Windows 10.
It can be disabled as follows:
* Open the Group Policy Editor. Either
1. press
Win+R and run gpedit or, if you don't have gpedit.msc,
2. open the Microsoft Management Console by pressing Win+R and entering mmc. Go to File → Add/Remove Snap-In, select the Group Policy Object Editor, press Add, Finish and OK.
Expand the Local Computer Policy.
* Navigate to
3. Computer Configuration
4. Administrative Templates
5. Control Panel
6. Personalization,
edit Do not display the lock screen and set it to Enabled.
