eDrive and Intel RST driver implementation
Highlighting the recent Intel RST driver update that removes OPAL support, preventing Windows from utilizing SSD encryption features like eDrive. This is the issue I encountered after installing Windows 10 with the latest RST version. You might face boot problems if you enable encryption and install RST simultaneously. The system could struggle to exit sleep mode, displaying a black screen or flashing HDD light repeatedly. During startup, you might be prompted to enter a password each time. Bitlocker in the control panel will indicate that no encryption solution is available. The suggested fix is to uninstall RST and restart twice.
