I plugged in an external HD that was protected by bitlocker.

A pop-up windows shows that Decryption is paused at 73.1. There is a resume button but when clicked, it only makes it worse and window is Not Responding.


On cmd, I checked manage-bde -status:


Volume F: [MEDIA HDD]

[Data Volume]


Size: 596.17 GB

BitLocker Version: 2.0

Conversion Status: Decryption Paused

Percentage Encrypted: 26.8%

Encryption Method: XTS-AES 128

Protection Status: Protection Off

Lock Status: Unlocked

Identification Field: Unknown

Automatic Unlock: Disabled

Key Protectors:

Password

Numerical Password


I tried to do manage-bde -off and -on, but both commands would result in:

An error occurred (code 0x80310059):

BitLocker Drive Encryption is already performing an operation on this drive.

Please complete all operations before continuing.


I need help. Thanks!
