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.

Bitlocker stuck at 11.5% encryption

Hello, I'm attempting to enable Bitlocker encryption on an external hard drive, but it will not proceed further than 11.5%.

Technical details:

• Windows 10 Pro
  
• Seagate 1TB external HDD
  

So far I've tried:

• chkdsk /r in elevated cmd
  
• chkdsk /f in elevated cmd
  
• Pausing, then resuming through the Bitlocker GUI
  
• manage-bde pause, manage-bde resume, , manage-bde cancel, both in elevated cmd
  
• Restarting (over 5 times)
  
• Leaving it running for >6 hrs
  
• Swapping USB port used for the drive
  
• Decrypting, then re-encrypting (twice)
  

Chkdsk reveals that there is one bad sector on the drive. I've deleted the file on that sector and rebooted, however it's still detecting that sector in the drive's recycling bin (and rebooting hasn't cleared it out). Chkdsk does not run any action to correct that and says no actions are needed at this time. I also run Hard Disk Sentinel by Janos Mathe, it reports the drive's health as 99% with 1 weak sector.

 

Bitlocker Paused Problem

I started encrypting a USB HDD and had to put BitLocker on pause at about 2% using the pause button. When I tried to continue Bitlocker says that the process is still paused and I can't get it to restart. The HDD is now locked with BitLocker. I have tried
the commands suggested using the command prompt to disable it but just get an error message about being unable to access the drive. I am on a works pc and don't have admin rights. Is it possible to transfer the USB HDD to another PC and try the disable command
or will it only work on the pc Bitlocker was started on?
