New Features and Functionality v10.7
● Encryption Personal is now supported with Windows 10 v2004 (May 2020 Update/20H1).
● Encryption Personal now can locate and escrow encryption keys to mapped network drives.
● The Dell DiagnosticInfo utility logging is improved.
● Boot order logging is improved.
● A new RAID controller driver is added to the Dell Encryption Recovery WinPE environment. This enables recovery of disks in
newer platforms configured in RAID ON mode.
● Dell Encryption performs a re-analysis of encrypted volumes on key backups to ensure policy is correctly applied to the entire
drive. This will appear as a re-sweep of encryption of the disk, which may lead to a temporary increase in system resource
use.
● Encryption Personal now displays a Don't Ask Again again checkbox if Encryption is not activated on the computer. If the
user intends to activate Encryption at a later date and selects this option, delete the following registry value:
HKEY_Current_User\Software\Credant\CMGShield\
REG_SZ (string) - PasswordPromptKey
Value = HidePasswordPrompt
