Settings missing for enabling silent encryption

Question

Hi,

I'm trying to enable silent encryption on the intune portal, however the options that are shown in the article
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/protect/encrypt-devices are not there at all. They seem to be changed in wordings and i can't figure out which one it is. Eg It says to enable silent encryption, have the following options set

1. Hide prompt about third-party encryption = Yes
2. Allow standard users to enable encryption during Autopilot = Yes
3. Require Key File Creation = Allowed or Blocked
4. Recovery Password Creation = Allowed or Required
   , however on the endpoint security disk encryption, there is nothing like this setting, except
   Allow warning for other disk encryption = disabled
   Allow standard user encryption = enabled
   Which i believe correlates to 1 & 2 .

Answer 1

In order to make these settings visible, you have to create a device configuration profile with the endpoint protection template. See screenshot below.

The settings you are looking for will then be under the Windows Encryption category in Configuration settings. You will also be able to save the recovery keys to Azure AD (Entra ID).
