I cleared up a space on the C drive and installed Linux on that partition. Can Windows see files in my Linux partition?
When i installed Linux, i didn’t encrypt it but it is password protected. Thanks
We don’t know.
While Windows doesn’t present the ability to read Linux filesystems to the user, that doesn’t mean that it can’t do it at all for some covert security state purpose.
It can’t by default, but you can mount Linux partitions on Windows using WSL

It can read every bit of that partition.
It’s technically possible, but windows doesn’t give you as the user tools to do so. If you donÄt want windos to have the ability to do so you could use full system encryption like: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dm-crypt/Encrypting_an_entire_system
