    Dear Adimeita,

    Have you turned on drive encryption or installed any encryption third-party software?

    -Select the Start button, then select Settings > Update & Security > Device encryption.

    -Go to Control panel > Program and Features > Check to see if there is any device encryption is installed or not.

    Please keep me informed.

    This is a sign that you have BitLocker enabled on the drives. To remove the icon, disable BitLocker. Settings>Update & recovery>Device encryption. You can check your recovery key at https://account.microsoft.com/devices/recoverykey
