How to undo "manage-bde -forcerecovery C:"?

Hi, Ankur. I'm sorry to hear you're having this problem, and I hope I can assist you to find a satisfactory solution.

You can try the step by step below and I will leave the link with all the information about bitlocker:

Follow these steps:

On the BitLocker recovery screen, select Skip this drive.

Select Troubleshoot > Advanced Options > Command Prompt.

Enter the following commands in the Command Prompt window:

manage-bde –unlock C: -rp <48-digit numerical recovery key>

manage-bde -protectors -disable C:

Exit the command prompt.

Shut down the device.

When you reboot the device, it should boot into Windows.

If that doesn't work, check the documentation:

Manage-bde question

I have two computer both have bitlocker enabled

Second one d drive need manage-bde command

To decrypt

1.If decrypt with this command, will it lose encryption protection in use for d drive?

2.C drive never need to use manage-bde to decrypt

Does it mean that confidential data should save to d drive is better than c drive document folder ?

3.What is the difference in two computer when both have bitlocker enabled, and one need manage-bed to decrypt ?

 

unknown "other devices"

Hi,

Unknown devices usually show up in the Device Manager when Windows is unable to identify a piece of hardware and attempts to provide a driver for it. An unknown device isn’t just unknown — it’s not functioning until you install the right driver. Most of
the time Windows is able to identify and download drivers automatically. In cases where it is unable to do so, you'll have to identify and look for the driver yourself.

Follow these steps to locate the Unknown Device:

1. Press Windows Key + X and select Device Manager.

2. You’ll find unknown devices and other non-functioning devices under Other devices. Each device with a problem has a little yellow exclamation mark over its icon.

To check the Hardware ID of a device, follow these steps:

1. Open the Device Manager.

2. In the Device Manager, right-click the device, and choose Properties in the popup menu.

3. Tap the Details tab.

4. Select the Hardware IDs in the drop-down list.

5. Search the web for the Hardware ID using your browser. You should be able to get the name of the piece of hardware associated with the unknown device.

6. Get the driver for the device and install it normally.
