Hello,

Following the reinstallation of Windows 10 Pro on a PC, I found an unusual icon on the C drive, with a yellow triangle danger symbol and an open padlock. What does this mean?

Good evening,
It's indeed BitLocker that is adding those symbols, take a look at this link:

You just need to disable it simply.

Hi,

Download CrystalDiskInfo to check the health status of the hard drive.

It's done, health status is 100% okay. In my opinion, it's something else.

  Haven't you used BitLocker before reinstalling?

  No, exactly. Brand new installation. And an open padlock.

  SFC /scannow
  
  Open the Command Prompt as an administrator (admin).
  
  Copy and paste: SFC /scannow and then press the Enter key.
  There should be a space between SFC and /scannow.
  This will scan all protected system files and replace any corrupted ones with a cached copy.
  
  Do not close this Command Prompt window until the verification is complete at 100%.
  The results of the scan will be displayed after this process is finished.
  
  You will see if there were any errors and if they have been repaired.
