Bitlocker is Actually Garbage

Hello,

I have built and repaired and used many PCs and laptops and nothing is more stressful than getting locked out of your own device because of this software. It happens on every laptop I own and it happens whenever I do something as small as tweaking a setting in the bios or even rebooting the laptop. Recently this tool locked me out of my windows 11 laptop and corrupted my windows installation and erased all my data. Is there a way I can permanently disable bitlocker on all devices I own since I do not have any use for this tool?

Edit: After looking through settings for a while I found a way to disable it. For anyone who also has this problem's you need to go to settings > privacy and security > Device encryption, at the top there is an option to enable/disable Device encryption, disable it and wait for it to decrypt and the lock in file explorer goes away.
