   If you want to disable BitLocker for multiple drives at once, use:

Using Command Prompt

1. Open Command Prompt as an administrator.
2. Use the following command to start the decryption process:

Using Control Panel

1. Open the Control Panel.
2. Navigate to BitLocker Drive Encryption.
3. Click on Turn off BitLocker for the drive you want to decrypt.
