Dell Latitude 5490 Bitlocker encryption Setup Wizard?

I just purchased a brand new Dell Latitude 5490 laptop. When I enabled BitLocker using the Bitlocker Setup Wizard, for some strange reason it did not prompt me if I wanted to select the option to encrypt the Entire drive. It automatically continued to encrypt the Used Space Only. Another issue, I set the Group Policy setting to use the encryption type XTS AES-256, but the Bitlocker Setup Wizard ignored this setting even after rebooting the laptop. The only time the Bitlocker Setup Wizard prompts me to select if I should encrypt the Entire drive is when I decrypt the drive and then re-encrypting it again. Is this by design on new Dell laptops, or has anyone else face this issue with Bitlocker? On my previous Latitude E6440, Bitlocker Setup Wizard always prompted me if I should select to encrypt the Used Space or Entire drive.
