What can I do if an error appears on BitLocker?

Occasionally, you may run into a few errors when using BitLocker. A common problem that appears is BitLocker failing to decrypt. In some cases, this could be because the software is taking an unusually long time to complete. Other times, the failure could be because your computer is behind on updates. People have also had issues with BitLocker failing to encrypt. When this happens, you may need to open the Command Prompt and clear out the partition or change the security settings in Windows 11 BIOS. Other fixes involve circumventing TPM on your computer with the Local Group Policy Editor. Another helpful fix you should know about is how to deal with BitLocker constantly asking for a password.
