  1. Decrypt several files on a new Windows installation


    Hello,I had several encrypted files from long ago in Windows 10 Pro. About 2 weeks ago I upgraded the pc and reinstalled Windows 10 Pro from 0.Now it can't decrypt these files that I have encrypted. I've been searching through google for a solution and I haven't found any that will solve it for me yet. It should be said that the user that I use for this and the previous Windows is the same and I still have the windows.old folder from which I have tried to get a certificate but it has not worked. What I can do? thank you so muchgreetings

    :)

  4. Decrypt several files on a new Windows installation

    File system decryption - cannot decrypt file

    m:\Dat1\>cipher /d m:\Dat1\my.txt

    Decrypting files in m:\Dat1\

    my.txt [ERR]
    my.txt: The specified file could not be decrypted.

    0 file(s) [or directorie(s)] within 1 directorie(s) were decrypted.

    m:\Dat1>cipher /c my.txt

    Listing m:\Dat1\
    New files added to this directory will not be encrypted.

    E my.txt
    Compatibility Level:
    Windows XP/Server 2003
    Users who can decrypt:
    Certificate thumbprint: 5E65 6397 2032 D218 4C7C 054D C54D 9740 60D2 3268
    No recovery certificate found.
    Key information cannot be retrieved.
    The specified file could not be decrypted.

    The main questions:

    1) IF I have in my Windows account imported certificate (Personal, pfx) having exactly SAME thumbprint - should Windows decrypt file?

    2) If Windows has several EFS certificates installed - does it select certificate to decrypt file automatically?
