Answer 1

Most likely a virus has attacked the system and is disabling encryption is the most likely problem.

c. Most likely a virus has attacked the system and is disabling encryption.

Explanation:

The end users can protect the folder by enabling encrypt the folder or files. But in windows encrypting the file or folder is not available. The computer management console is used to open all other services such as risk management, performance management extra.
