  1. Files Decryption after backuping documents from previous Win version.


    Nowadays I'm on 10 Pro.
    All of my documents, that I copied from previous Windows to separate hard drive, becamed Encrypted.

    I'm 1000% sure, that I didn't do it by my hand. But now, I can't use them, read or write - doesnt matter.
    I didnt have any encryption keys, cause I formatted system drive and perform a clear Win10 install.

    What can I do to restore access to my information?

    Unchecking box "Encrypt contents to secure data" results in
    "An Error Occured applying attributes to file: ...
    The specified file couldn't be decrypted"

    Please, help, I dont want to use anything under Locking image...

    :)

    Document folder won't decrypt

    I encrypted my documents folder in my windows 10 desktop and when I went to decrypt it... I select all folders and sub folders. Then I get this error: An error occurred applying attributes to the file: C:\users\Giveaway\Documents the specified file could
    not be decrypted. ignore, ignore all, try again, cancel. Nothing works to decrypt folder. I have to decrypt files and sub folders individually but cannot decrypt the main folder. So when i create a new file in documents it is automatically encrypted and I
    have to manually decrypt it.
