Does Bitlocker an a Windows VM encrypt shared Mac folders or volumes?

[Stephen Van Dellen]

Windows 11 24H2 will enable BitLocker encryption for everyone -- happens on both clean installs and reinstalls | Tom's Hardware says Windows 11 installs and reinstalls are going to enable Bitlocker in the future. Would Bitlocker encrypt Desktop, Documents or other folders or volumes shared with the Mac so Mac programs wouldn't be able to read them?

This is a serious issue. W11 on dual boot linux machine, will encrypted shared disks.
So, unless Parallels is doing something to avoid this side effect, this new Win feature can have disastrous side effects

Best solution I have is to use UUP Dump (google it) to download and create an iso, then use either NTLite, or, admin terminal scripts to modify the install. (Most are focused on debloat, albeit I don't go too wild with that as it tends to break things, but preconfigured installs are rather nice and minimize things -- 1.7 GB RAM, roughly 100 processes, 900 threads, 35k handles at boot).

Can definitely disable bit locker from the OOBE among other nice things like requiring a login.
