For the 45% performance decrease, considering how broken this disk encryption system is, it's best to seek alternative data protection mechanisms.

Something like this https://diskcryptor.org/ ?

No... This is the number one!

Veracrypt:

https://www.veracrypt.fr/en/Home.html

VeraCrypt is a free open source disk encryption software for Windows, Mac OSX and Linux. Brought to you by IDRIX (https://www.idrix.fr) and based on TrueCrypt 7.1a.
VeraCrypt main features:

• Creates a virtual encrypted disk within a file and mounts it as a real disk.
• Encrypts an entire partition or storage device such as USB flash drive or hard drive.
• Encrypts a partition or drive where Windows is installed (pre-boot authentication).
• Encryption is automatic, real-time(on-the-fly) and transparent.
• Parallelization and pipelining allow data to be read and written as fast as if the drive was not encrypted.
• Encryption can be hardware-accelerated on modern processors.
• Provides plausible deniability, in case an adversary forces you to reveal the password: Hidden volume (steganography) and hidden operating system.

AxCrypt seems quite good nowadays.

though TrueCrypt which forked into VeraCrypt is the open source one most people use.

There is a nice grid of options, and there are many here:

It's an interesting topic in itself, I was mostly thinking about the TPM aspects BitLocker chose to rely upon. This thread had caught a venereal disease but it turns out to have been curable, kudos to our founder.

Wouldn't have happened if you had just concentrated on your own thread...

You fail to see that a lot of posts cleared out by the founder include yours too!

Indeed when my posts are sandwiched from below and above by dirty crooks, it would be hard to interpret them out of context. Which made their removal only logical. Perhaps if you ask ChatGippity what a forum is and how discussion threads work, you will be enlightened. It is not rocket science.

But again, here you are trolling, not adding anything of value or substance to the thread, but discussing unrelated drama nonsense. Did you see, we are discussing TPM cracking here, rather strange the trolls have steered clear of the actual topic like children who crept into the conversation of adults. Either talk about TPM cracking, or shut your disgusting face and go somewhere else. There are rubbish sites which can teach tyros like you the basics of Python programming, or how to go from a "Sergent" to lieutenant, and have tools with backdoors in them which are probably an excellent fit for you. Leave the serious reversers here alone.
