Sorry, false alarm. It was just one of the later screens during installation.
I am being particularly paranoid currently. I am still trying to figure out why Bitlocker is suddenly here. I am wondering if the ever lovable MS has pushed a download to activate it. It would make a certain amount of sense since that is part of the "secure environment".

That, I believe, is not what we got. T talked about removing things and us giving permission to do things.
I have told my wife to leave it up when it happens again and get me.

@plb4333 suggestion did not fix the problem. Same issue when I try to open the drive.
My wife saw the post. It, as related to me, says I give permission to remove or otherwise do a bunch of things to my existing system. Apparently more that seems reasonable. When I see it , I can explain that better. What version or whatever should I see on the popup?

Thanks.
It is weird. All of a sudden it started consuming 100% cpu. I have tried find a cause. It still starts to resume encryption whenever I use explorer to open the drive.
When it happened initially, It seemed to be associated with XYplorer. It seemed to coincide with that application. But an association is not clear/obvious. I have no feed back on any possibilities there.
I have been researching; but I am not a pro. Powershell seems to say there is nothing odd. I have found various related things, but I am just not capable of understanding much of it. An aside; it sure would be helpful if MS noted that the - signs in PS are not after a space.
Every time the message for Bitlocker comes up, it wants me to put in a password to continue installation. I am scared.
Another side note; did MB just release a new version with a popup saying scary things about acceptance of anything you might do? I saw it on one of my machines but I am putting it off until I am sure it is legit.

Yesterday I had a massive process start running. 100% cpu. It appeared to be Bitlocker running through all my data. I killed the process by rebooting. Every time I try to access a file on either of my disks, I get a popup that starts Bitlocker and wants to be given a Bitlocker password for the drive. This appears to be the actual new psw that would be entered to run Bitlocker. It asks for the psw and then again.
I have no idea what will happen if I give it a psw to use. But I don't want Bitlockerto be active.
I found a post here that said the 3.4.4 version of Malwarebytes could be the cause. I failed to check what version I had. I downloaded 3.4.5. But, of course, I could not run it without starting the Bitlocker application. I used Revo to install the update and that worked. It can read the drives. However (after a reboot) I still get the start Bitlocker popup when I try to access anything on the drives.. So, essentially, I can't use my computer.
Anyone have some insights into how to clean this up? Is it MB. Or not.

I tried to edit - MB I have is 3.0.6.1469. It says there are no updates.

To MB support!
I just installed my MB on a clean install of Win 1703. I have the same problem described in many posts on the forum from at least a couple of months ago. There is no place I have seen that actually provides a solution.
Popup - Real-time Protection turned off.
Click turn on - nothing.
Go to MB control and turn it on. Instantly reverts to off.
Where is a fix.
My title is to give a single post where people can find the answer. Please do not let us dwon.
A bit more information. My copy of MB does not think there are updates. I am going to try downloading the free current copy and see if I can apply my license.

My log. Posted description of experience in an earlier post above.

I got the update message and allowed it. First install, the moving bar kept stopping and saying something was not accessible (or something like that) and click here to continue. I did that maybe a dozen times and finally killed the process. MB kept nagging I was not protected. Tried again. This time it installed and I had 3.05. Continued to nag about protection not being enabled. Specifically the Malware Protection. Sort of a root function. If I set that to be on, is just turns the control green but the white dot stays on the left. If I quit, it just clears that control and goes back to the nag. Do the whole "turn on malware protection thing" again; same results. Multiple tries.

It seems pretty much all users have the problem (including me).
It would be nice if MB told us something for an aborted release.
