Don't want bitlocker and how to turn it off?

BitLocker, is it on or off? I do not want it on this machine. It is in a safe place used to monitor equipment with many users. No Microsoft account. It says it has it, it says not activated.

    Right click on the drive name and input the password to turn it off.

  • Open Command Prompt as administrator.
    Next, execute this command:

    manage-bde -off C:

    This will remove waiting for activation.
