Absolutely yes. Even if it is not disguised executable.

It could contain an exploit which targets the video player you are opening it with.

Took them long enough. Most Linux distros have a simple toggle for Disk encryption for years. And as far as i am aware Apple has it too. And basically every mobile OS is encrypted by default as well. iOS and Android

You didn’t store the key anywhere but on that disk.

Windows does not let you store the recovery key on an encrypted drive.

The rest only means, we need to deal better with our data. All the above basically also applies when you HDD or SSD dies, which can happen any time.

Backups is what you need, not an unencrypted drive.

Yep but at this point it is obvious to the user that this is not the way it is supposed to be. When you want to shoot yourself in the foot...

You can not find that Option via the default Settings menu, you have to search for it or use the outdated control panel.

Also Windows Home edition does not have this option.

Edit: you can find it actually under Windows security.

Still, it never pops up during installation.

There are even reported cases where Microsoft support used that tool to activate Windows Licenses when there are problems with the License of a customer.
