  1. I want to restart my whole Windows 10, but I'm stuck on the BitLocker screen.


    Hello, I have spent hours trying to fix my Windows laptop and I can't find a single solution to this problem: I'm stuck on the BitLocker security screen and if I try to reset it and delete all of my files with it, it won't let me. I've also gone through Troubleshoot then Advanced options and have tried to fit it that way, but to no avail. I don't have this Windows account anymore that used to be on this laptop or the password and email to go with it. I would like to start over, but am not sure how. Please help!

    :)

    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.

    Windows 10 Clean install stuck with BitLocker

    Huh? My post didn't say anything about accessing the encrypted drive. Just go to the screen where the key is requested, and then restart. I'm not certain that it is possible to restart from that screen, rather than forcing a shutdown, but I thought it was worth suggesting.

    I probably should have quoted rather than just posting the link. I'll do that now.

    1. Attach the USB device to the system via any available USB port.
    2. Press and hold the Power Button for few seconds to turn off the system completely.
      Note: For Windows 8/8.1/10, restart the system before using the following steps.
    3. Power on the system. Press F12 immediately as the Thinkpad logo appears.
    4. There should be a pop-up menu with a list of choices. Select the USB drive using the arrow key and press Enter.
    The Note was the main point. I've never had to do anything like that to boot from a USB drive, but I presume that it's there for a reason. I'm not sure how to interpret it, but my guess is that F12 might work if the laptop is restarted, rather than cold booted. Won't take much effort to try it.

    Windows 10 stuck at black screen


    hi, i tried upgrading my windows 7, but failed 5 times.

    step 2 installing features n updates are 100%
