Mastercam and bitlocker

[SlaveCam]

New company policy: all laptops must have their C-drive encrypted. So bitlocker was activated a few days ago.

Is anyone using Mastercam with bitlocker here? I instantly noticed some decrease in performance (to be expected) but shouldn't it affect only hard drive I/O performance? However, even zooming in and out is sluggish now! The laptop is a high-end ZBook and it seems like there is something else going on here, as it was performing okay last week.

There was certainly something else going on: somebody had unplugged the extension chord my laptop is connected to and as there's a bug in Win10 that the battery icon updates only once after restarting, I thought it was plugged in all the time. Feeling stupid again.

Still the original question remains, for curiosity.

I use Bitlocker on both laptop drives, I have not had any issues with Mastercam

No noticeable issue with bitlocker, other than if you power on and walk away it will shut your computer down after it times out.  Makes you go crazy thinking you already turned it on and are having to do it again.
