Disk Encryption at Host Compliance Issue on Windows VM

Thorben J Nielsen 0 Reputation points

After enabling Disk Encryption at Host on a Windows VM, the policy is still shown as non-compliant.

The disk is confirmed to be encrypted via both the console and PowerShell checks.

What could be causing the compliance status not to update?

What steps can be taken to resolve this?
