Config - Disabling Bitlocker on C: for Template preparation

Step-by-Step

1. Open PowerShell as Administrator or CMD (Admin):

powershell
CopyEdit
Disable-BitLocker -MountPoint "C:"

Or in CMD:

cmd
CopyEdit
manage-bde -off C:

2. Wait for decryption to finish:

   To check the status:

powershell

VolumeStatus     : FullyDecrypted

It can take several minutes depending on disk size and speed.
