1009953	-	7.1.0	7.1.3	Issue: Incorrect decryption time continually shows one (1) minute when using DETech to decrypt a system.
1017262	-	7.1.1	7.1.3	Issue: When using Temporary Autoboot on a system that is configured to use the TPM for Autoboot, the operation always uses the TPM. Resolution: This behavior has been changed. Now when using Temporary Autoboot, the operation is performed using standard autoboot.

936030	KB86540	7.1.0	7.1.3	Issue: Some DE 7.1.x error codes that relate to the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) Autoboot and Policy Hardening appear as Unknown. The reason is because of missing error strings in the localization file. Without the error strings, the user sees, for example, 0xEE160004 Unknown in the preboot or in the log file. This issue affects all locales.

-	-	7.1.0	-	Issue: [Dynamic and RAID disks in Windows] Software RAID: DE works at the sector level, and so it does not support software-based dynamic disks and software-based RAID. Hardware RAID: DE is untested in this mode, but works properly in environments where pure Hardware RAID has been implemented. But, EEPC can't support diagnostic or disaster recovery in this situation.
921227	-	7.1.0	-	Issue: Hot-plugging a non-Opal drive into an active system and then activating DE on the system causes the non-Opal drive to be left unencrypted. This issue does not occur if the non-Opal drive is plugged into the system when the system boots.
918870	-	7.1.0	-	Issue: Upgrading or uninstalling an ePO-deployed DEGO install from the command line fails silently because MSI installs Per-User and not Per-Computer.

805262	-	7.1.0	-	Issue: In some rare cases, a client UEFI system might not activate because the C: partition can't be shrunk to make way for the DE 7.1.0 or later partition. Workaround: Running CHKDSK might resolve the problem. If not, manually shrink the C: partition by a small amount (about 1 MB). Activation must then continue as normal.
808920	-	7.1.0	-	Issue: Preboot theme and dialogs might appear incorrectly scaled on Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) monitors on some UEFI booting systems. This issue does not affect a non-CRT monitor.

-	-	7.1.0	n/a	Issue: The RemoveDE feature is not supported in the UEFI version of the standalone DETech for Opal. Workaround: Use the WinPE version of DETech to remove DE on a UEFI system.
-	KB82160	7.1.0	n/a	Issue: The built-in track pad, mouse pad, or touch interface might not work in preboot on UEFI booting systems. The reason is that some OEMs might not bundle a suitable UEFI driver for the device in the firmware. The track pad/mouse pad requires the UEFI Simple Pointer Protocol and the touch interface requires the Absolute Pointer Protocol to work correctly. To view the requirements to fully support installation on UEFI systems with DE, see the related article.
811080	-	7.1.0	n/a	Issue: When trying an Emergency Boot of a client system using DETech (Standalone), if a recovery file from a different system is used, Windows automatic repair starts. This behavior is expected because the recovery file contains the wrong key and can't successfully unlock the disk.
789575	-	7.1.0	n/a	Issue: A client system with an unlocked Opal drive, does not show preboot if the system is rebooted using ether of the following deep command options: Normal Boot Reboot Caused because the system is hard-booted. But power to the drive is not lost, and the drive does not lock.

This fact might lead to issues when migrating User Groups in child domains from EEPC 5 to DE 7.1.0 or later. The reason is because DE is unable to determine memberOf relationships. See the related article for details.
798122	-	7.1.0	n/a	Issue: After deactivation of Opal systems, you must restart the system before trying to reactivate.
802547	-	7.1.0	n/a	Issue: Remove DE is not supported in EEOpalTech (Standalone) for UEFI.
770024	-	7.1.0	n/a	Issue: Touchscreen pen support might not function correctly if Always enable pre-boot USB support is not enabled. Resolution: Make sure Always enable pre-boot USB support is enabled on tablets configured to run in legacy BIOS mode.
965239	KB82028	7.1.0	n/a	Issue: Lenovo ThinkPad with ExpressCache software installed is incompatible with all Full Disk Encryption (FDE) software and OPAL Self-Encrypting Drives (SED).

804145	-	7.1.0	n/a	Issue: Upgrade from HP Protect Tools 2012 (V8) is no longer supported.
-	-	7.1.0	n/a	Issue: Removing the EEADMIN and DE extensions, and then installing an earlier version of the EEADMIN / EEPC extensions, damage the database and is not supported. Workaround: Do not downgrade extensions. IMPORTANT: If you must revert to an earlier version of the EEADMIN / EEPC extension, first perform an ePO disaster recovery. See KB66616 - ePolicy Orchestrator server backup and disaster recovery procedure.
928218	-	7.1.0	n/a	Issue: Mac-specific properties are shown as Unknown after checking in the DE 7.1 EEAdmin extension. Examples of the affected Mac parameters: Model Identifier (Mac only), McAfee Preboot Partition Status (Mac only), McAfee Recovery Partition Status (Mac only).
