Windows 10: My PC is stuck on a black screen after entering the Bitlocker recovery key. What should I do?

Hello, today my computer was acting up, it was slow, it kept freezing and I restarted it. After that i kept getting this message on my boot up screen saying “Preparing Automatic Repair”. I fixed this problem via command prompt and an youtube video. After that when I tried to boot up my computer again, I was greeted with a blue screen saying “Bitlocker recovery key is needed to access drivers” or something like that. I have found the recovery key and used it. Now I am stuck on a black screen and each time I enter the recovery key, my computer gets stuck on a black screen. I have tried to execut

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.

Hi Rick,

Please follow the suggestions below and check if you are able to boot to your desktop.

• Places to look for your BitLocker key:
  • On a printout you saved. Look in places you keep important papers.
    
  • Saved on a USB flash drive. Plug the USB flash drive into your locked PC and follow the instructions. If you saved the key as a text file on the flash drive, use a different computer to read the text file.
  • In your Microsoft account. To get your recovery key, go to
    BitLocker Recovery Keys.

• Or ask someone for help:
  • Ask someone with administrator privileges on the same PC to unlock it with their key.
  • If your PC is connected to a domain (usually a work or school computer), ask a system administrator for your recovery key
