Both Device Encryption and Bitlocker on?? How to turn both off??

-- All here - thanks for your very fast responses to my post at top. I have done something a bit different, as suggested over at AskWoody, with very good results. (At Topic: Why is Bitlocker waiting for Activation? @ AskWoody.) First, I made a Macrium Reflect differential backup of one of the PCs -- the Precision 3660. Then, I went to Settings - Update & Security - Device Encryption at bottom left, and hit “Turn Off” in the right panel for the encryption. (<-- Corrected to Device Encryption in edit.) The machine took a bit of time to decrypt. and I rebooted. I now have very good results:

1. Update & Security no longer has Device Encryption (<-- corrected) on the left.
2. Control Panel – Bitlocker indicates that Bitlocker is OFF. It no longer says it is waiting for activation.
3. Our staffer’s files — in her User account on the PC — appear to be perfectly OK. As it turns out, they had been moved to OneDrive so I’m not 100% sure that all files actually on the PC are OK, but I don’t see any issues.
4. I have rebooted a few times and looked at Event Viewer, and so far everything seems OK.
5. Also, Paul Black's suggested "manage-bde -status" shows that Bitlocker is indeed off.

These good results make me think that Update & Security – Device Encryption (<-- corrected) is indeed the same as Bitlocker, or very highly linked. I think that maybe the WindowsClub article I cited above is wrong or incomplete. Any further thoughts? EDIT - Over at AskWoody, a commentator noted that my Update & Security - Device Encryption disappeared, and he was surprised. Should it NOT have disappeared? Have I lost something here?

Nah - just an AskWoody commenter who knows diddly squat.

 

Need to turn off Bitlocker to install Windows 10

Hi,

We suggest doing the following steps again to resolve the issue. To complete the procedure, make sure that you have the following information:

• You must be able to provide administrative credentials.
• The drive must be BitLocker-protected.

To suspend BitLocker Drive Encryption on an operating system drive, please follow the steps below:

• Click Start, click Control Panel, click
  System and Security, and then click BitLocker Drive Encryption.
• Click Suspend Protection for the operating system drive.
• A message is displayed, informing you that your data will not be protected while BitLocker is suspended and asking if you want to suspend BitLocker Drive Encryption.
  
• Click Yes to continue and suspend BitLocker on the drive.

Let us know how it goes.
