Bitlocker Error: The system cannot find the file specified

I was encrypting my Drive "D" and system got shutdown due to power loss. After turning on the system I was unable to decrypt the drive. I'm receiving the error "The system cannot find the file specified" while entering the password. I tried below steps but nothing helped.

1. Press Windows key + E, to open File Explorer.
   
2. Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\Recovery.
   
3. Look for REAgent.xml file, right click on it and click on Rename.
   
4. Rename the file to REAgent.old.
   
5. If you receive any prompt click on Yes.
   
6. Start the Bit Locker encryption process.
   

 

Windows 10 Start Menu File Explorer button error "Windows cannot access the specified device ..."

Hi All,

I have a strange error with windows start menu today! Please check the attached two images:

Notes (before reproducing steps):

• My laptop is up without restart for 11 days till now, I am a software engineer.
• I have ended the explorer processes and relaunched it from the task manager.
• File Explorer button in the start menu opens "This PC".
• I can open the Explorer normally by
  • Menu Button + E
  • File Explorer pinned to the taskbar
• 
  I can't open the File Explorer by Start Menu > File Explorer Button
  
• 
  I don't want to restart, I have a lot of work on other desktops, restart solves this problem. Obviously, it is a bug.
  

Steps to reproduce the error:

• open the start menu
• click on file explorer button
  • an error message appears with "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item".

Step 1:





Step 2 & result:





Steps were taken trying to resolve the issue:

• I tried to restart the explorer process from task manager, but with no success.
• I tried to replace the shortcut the file explorer button points at, but still with no hope.
• I checked the permissions of the "explorer.exe" process in "Windows" folder, and I have the correct permissions. I even tried to double click the file "explorer.exe" and it normally opened the explorer without a problem!

I guess it is a problem with the File Explorer button itself in the start menu (A GUI problem), maybe a corrupted registry key!
