I'm trying to encrypt a drive on mine laptop. I had this error: Un-allowed DMA capable bus/device(s) detected

So I followed the steps described in This comment Now I'm getting new, but less informative errors:

Device Encryption Support   Reasons for failed automatic device encryption: Hardware Security Test Interface failed and device is not Modern Standby

How can I debug this? What else could be wrong? Regards

  • Thanks, so my device is just not compatible – Kowalski Paweł Feb 23 '22 at 18:21
  • [This](https://superuser.com/questions/1537206/does-home-edition-of-windows-10-encrypt-files/1537324#1537324) previous question has an answer that lists the requirements for Device Encryption. – Ramhound Feb 23 '22 at 23:37

This message means that your device is indeed incompatible and doesn't support Device Encryption.

As a replacement, you could use the free and open-source VeraCrypt.
