    Hi Iman,

    Error message 0x80071771 means that you need to restore the file encryption key in order for you to decrypt the encrypted files. On the other hand, you can still try these steps and see if it will work:

    • Right-click the file or folder that you want to decrypt.
    • Click File ownership and click Personal.

    Feel free to contact us if you need assistance with Windows.

    Error 0x80071771, The specified file could not be decrypted

    "The specified file could not be decrypted"

    I have an external hard drive with files that originated on my previous computer, running an earlier version of Windows. On both that and my current Windows 10 computer, I have been the administrator and only user.

    In one folder on the hard drive, the files are encrypted. (I do not recall how this came about; I may have done it by accident.) When I try to decrypt any of them (Properties --> Advanced --> uncheck "Encrypt contents to secure data"), I get the following
    error message: "The specified file could not be decrypted."

    How can I decrypt these files?
