    Hello,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community forum.

    Based on the description, I understand your question is related to Bitlocker.

    You can try use below command to disable bitlocker of that drive:

    Replace <recovery password> with your 48-digit recovery key, replace C with your current problem drive letter:

    manage-bde -unlock C: -recoverypassword <recovery password>

    After unlock, disable bitlocker use this command, replace C with your current drive letter:

    manage-bde -off C:

    Have a nice day. 

    Best Regards,

    Molly
