Bitlocker encryption
Hi, We have enabled Bitlocker using Intune and used AES 256bit XTS. But when we run manage-bde -status it says the encryption method is XTS-AES 128. Any suggestions on this? Is it a potential Bu...

I tried to encrypt my WD external HD with backup files and it took more than 20 hours to go to 98.2% and stuck there. I tried to pause it and it did not respond. I used Powershell to Pause and Resume also did not work. I clicked the Manage Bitlocker only to get File Explorer not responding. And Bitlocker Drive Encryption (not responding).
I could not end (bitlocker) task and and it did not want to shutdown as it was stuck on file explorer. Only way is to turn the PC power off. Look like the bitlocker software is making my external HD inaccessible.
How can I undo the encryption?
