I'm using BitLocker on my computer and I'm not sure how to know if it has finished the encryption process. Is there a way to check the progress or get a notification when it's done?

To verify the BitLocker encryption status of a designated drive, users can employ a straightforward command within the Command Prompt interface.

The command required for this purpose is 'manage-bde -status', followed by a colon and the drive letter of the target drive. This format ensures that the system understands which drive's status is being queried.

For instance, if one wishes to ascertain the BitLocker status of the primary drive, typically labeled (C:), the command would be tailored accordingly.

By typing 'manage-bde -status C:' into the Command Prompt and pressing the Enter key, the system will promptly display the current BitLocker encryption status of the (C:) drive.
