Turn off Bitlocker and check the status of the decrytion.
Here is the powershell script that turns off Bitlocker and checks the status of the decryptions.
# Disable BitLocker on C: and monitor decryption progress
$DriveLetter = "C:"
Write-Host "Starting BitLocker decryption on drive $DriveLetter ..." -ForegroundColor Cyan
# Start decryption (ignore errors if already decrypted)
try {
manage-bde -off $DriveLetter | Out-Null
} catch {
Write-Host "BitLocker may already be off on $DriveLetter." -ForegroundColor Yellow
}
Write-Host "Monitoring decryption progress. Press Ctrl+C to cancel." -ForegroundColor Green
# Loop until decryption is done
do {
$status = manage-bde -status $DriveLetter
$conversion = ($status | Select-String "Conversion Status").ToString().Split(":")[1].Trim()
$percentEnc = ($status | Select-String "Percentage Encrypted").ToString().Split(":")[1].Trim()
Write-Host "[$(Get-Date -Format 'HH:mm:ss')] Conversion: $conversion | Encrypted: $percentEnc" -ForegroundColor White
if ($conversion -eq "Fully Decrypted" -and $percentEnc -eq "0%") {
Write-Host "✅ Drive $DriveLetter is fully decrypted!" -ForegroundColor Green
break
}
Start-Sleep -Seconds 60 # adjust polling interval if you want faster/slower checks
} while ($true)
