i have a 2TB drive almost full, i have started the decrytion and it is stuck at 77% for about a week now. I have tried everything. There is no suspend or pause option in bitlocker manager. I have tried manage bde in CMD and when i try to pause it just sits there for days. i can access the data but it takes a while to show the files. I need this fixed as i have tried everything and i need to copy the data to a bigger 4Tb drive... What can i do to get this to finish to pause it or anything at this point???

i have already read all the articles, none of the software i have tried can even read the disk, the decryption is still going and seems to make any clone or restoring software not read the drive. some just dont even open cause the drive is causing havoc with my system. This is a mess and i just need Bitlocker to stop!!
