Windows 10: Win11 Home turned BitLocker on all my drives after installing new GPU

Hi forum...So i installed a GPU yesterday and after rebooting windows had turned BitLocker on all my drives. I formatted and re-installed Win11, so the system SSD is clear of it. But both my other SSD's still have it, even after unlocking via the Windows site yesterday. One has all my games which would take days to download.How can i actually just turn BitLocker off these drives? Completely get rid of it.And, how the hell did Win11 just spam this on me without any authority of questioning. It's never happened before, and I've played about with multiple GPU's in the past month.Thanks for any ad

:)

Turn of Bitlocker

I have an external USB drive encrypted with Bit locker

Was able to access it just fine with the password

Choose the “turn off BitLocker” option

It went through the steps of decrypting

The drive disappeared from the file manager when it returned it was still locked and the password I used prior no longer works from the command line. It says I have the wrong password

If I choose "Unlock Drive" from windows OS I get "The BitLocker Encryption on This Drive isn't Compatible with Your Version of Windows try a newer version"

• I have tried on three machines and still no luck
