    Bitlocker Stuck Decrypting

    @rinconmike For future reference, instead of using the TASK MANAGER to restart, you can simply hold CTRL + SHIFT and right click on blank space on the Task bar, to bring up 'Exit Explorer'. Another option is to use software.

    Cannot decrypt the disk encrypted by BitLocker

    While I was decrypting my disk that I had encrypted using BitLocker, the laptop suddenly shutdown and then I lost access to the disk. The system isn’t accepting my correct password and code. Windows 10 requires for credentials, thinks
    for a while and then closes without giving the access to my disk.

    I use Windows 10 pro. Help me please. I need to regain access to my disk as soon as possible because I have lots of important information there

    How to decrypt BitLocker encrypted disk without any password

    Cannot decrypt the disk encrypted by BitLocker

    Hi Tom,

    Please follow this guideline:

    Method 1: Plug in the drive to your laptop and check if you can decrypt it. This shutdown might have been caused by the battery.

    Method 2: Following the steps to decrypt the drive:

    1. Login, then connect the disk to the computer.

    2. Right-click cmd.exe, then select "run as administrator" to launch the command.

    3. Type in the following command and press Enter:

    manage-bde -off d: (Note you should substitute ‘d’ for the correct drive letter.

    You can also get in touch with Microsoft support here: ‘Microsoft Commercial Support’
