How to remove encryption BitLocker on Windows 7

I have one of my drives with BitLocker encrypted in my Windows 7 (32-bit) system. Now, I'm unable to remove this encryption. How can I remove this completely drive encryption? I mean, I don't want any more of any BitLocker protection on this drive. Formatting is not an option. Waiting for an answer.

Hello

When you turn off BitLocker, you can either disable BitLocker temporarily or to decrypt the volume. Disable BitLocker allows TPM and other minor changes module changes the system. Decrypt the volume means that the volume will be entirely decrypted, and that all the keys are ignored. You must decrypt a computer before the operating system upgrade. Once a volume is decrypted, you must generate new keys through the encryption process again once, if you want to enable BitLocker.

 

Before you start

·         You must be logged on as administrator.

·         The volume must be encrypted.

 

To turn off BitLocker Drive encryption

(a) click Start, click Control Panel, click Security, and then click BitLocker Drive Encryption.

(b) from the BitLocker Drive Encryption page, find the volume on which you want BitLocker Drive Encryption goes off, and click turn off BitLocker Drive Encryption.

(c) what level of decryption do you want the dialog box, click disable BitLocker Drive Encryption or decrypt the volume as required.

(d) by performing this procedure, you have disabled BitLocker or decrypted the operating system volume.

  • How manage/remove startup programs in Windows 7

    Crikey!

    You people are things made and actions 'hard '!

    With "how manage/remove programs startup in Windows 7?",...

    Everything I've ever done is to find the startup program (in the "All programs" list, have a good overview of what is there, then, VERY SIMPLY, remove those I don't want to open at startup.)

    When THIS is done, the program (s), I have DELETED does NOT start.

    At the start, never!

    Period!

    Some software packages will place their TITLE... at the beginning, without your consent.

    And, it's 'how' I get rid of them. I have this same title... in the "All programs" list, in any case!

    Autoruns is a great program for geeks, but for the average home user it generates so much information it can be a nightmare.

    Stick to the MsConfig - Startup tab in a 1st time, but start in programs and features when cleaning. You don't need to worry about something in the boot if you can remove the program anyway.

    Printer drivers HP is a good example. Many have their program of customer Participation and the consumables installation order plated on by default, but for the majority of users, as they are not necessary. Despite a message claiming that, on the contrary they do not affect printer operation at all.

    How can I delete downloaded updates of Windows 7?  While the updates are being downloaded, apparently I lost my internet connection then maybe that these were not completely downloaded. When I was prompted to install the updates, I did.  During the stop, the computer only installed15% and then stop.  I am now invited that updates were not properly installed.  I have updated manually several times over with the same results.  Should I delete the old downloaded updates and start again?  If so, how do remove these updates downloaded so I start again.  Thank you.

    My question is very simple: I believe!  How can I remove scanners listed in Windows Fax and Scan App under 'Tools'-> 'Scan routing?  This really should not be so dang hard when I do an install, and regedit, I looked at most of the places are to get rid of any residue.  However, when I get back in Windows FAX and Scan, inevitiably I see printers / scanners way back when I bought this laptop.

    I use Windows 7 Home Premium as my operating system.

    I think I'll try the following:

    Uninstall Norton & reboot

    Reinstall your HP printer using the latest version of the full software features on HP site, preferably in the usb connection.

    Test the printer or use HP diagnostics to test its operation, then uninstall HP printing via programs & features software.

    Then use the HP utility to completely re - move
