To verify the status of BitLocker encryption on your system through the command line, begin by pressing and holding the Windows key on your keyboard simultaneously with the R key. This will open the Run dialog box.

Once Command Prompt is open, right-click on its title bar or icon in the taskbar, and from the context menu, select "Run as Administrator." This step is crucial to ensure you have the necessary permissions to access BitLocker's status.

With Command Prompt running as an administrator, you can now enter the command to check BitLocker's status. Type 'manage-bde -status' and press Enter. This command instructs the system to display the current status of BitLocker encryption on all drives.

The command prompt will then output a list of drives connected to your computer, along with their BitLocker status. This includes whether the drive is encrypted, if the encryption is suspended or paused, and other relevant information.
