Windows 10: I am in dire need of assistance.

I am in dire need of assistance. Two days ago, I transferred critical data from my laptop to an External Hard Drive HDD and initiated BitLocker encryption to safeguard it. Unfortunately, BitLocker abruptly halted the encryption process at 60.1%, and I've been unable to access my data or halt the encryption since. This data is of utmost importance, as my job is at stake, and my boss might terminate my employment if I can't recover it. Whenever I connect the hard drive, a persistent "NOT RESPONDING" notification appears. I implore someone to come to my aid. I would be incredibly gratefu
