Problem
Instead of seeing the new graphical pre-boot Full Disk Encryption (FDE) login screen like this:
You see the original 'text mode' pre-boot FDE login screen like this:
Cause
The graphical pre-boot FDE login screen is only available on UEFI systems on version 4.9.0 or later of DESlock+. This means that Legacy/MBR systems are not supported.
To find out whether your machine is UEFI or Legacy, please follow one of the methods below:
Method 1:
If the version number displayed in the top right-hand corner of the pre-boot FDE login screen does not show the letters 'US' or 'UM' at the end of the number, then your machine is Legacy/MBR and is not supported.
Method 2:
Step 1:
From within Windows, press Win+R (or search Run in the Windows Start Menu) to open the Run dialog.
Step 2:
Type msinfo32 and click OK.
Step 3:
In the System Summary, look at the BIOS Mode. This will either show UEFI or Legacy.
Please note: this information is only displayed on Windows 8 or later.
