Check BitLocker Decryption progress
Posted: Wed Nov 14, 2018 2:27 pm
Become the administrator and open up a command window (cmd) then issue the command "manage-bde -status c:" for C drive:
"Percentage Encrypted: 10%" means it still has 10% remaining to be decrypted (90% done). This is after decrypting the drive for over 19 hours. Seems way too long for the decryption to be done........
Current time: 02:10 PM PDT on 11/14/2018 and there is still 2% encrypted. For about 2 hours, only 8% got decrypted.
Finally got fully decrypted at 03:15 PM on 11/14/2018. Almost 24 hours.
Code: Select all
