Sometimes you need to suspend your Bitlocker Encryption in order to change some hardware.

Here a 2 ways to do it - you need admin rights to do it.

Powershell

Open Powershell as admin an run the following command to suspend the Bitlocker Encryption

 

Suspend-Bitlocker -MountPoint "C:" -RebootCount 0

 

Open Powershell as admin an run the following command to resume the Bitlocker Encryption

 

Resume-Bitlocker -MountPoint "C:"

 

CMD

Open CMD as admin an run the following command to suspend the Bitlocker Encryption

 

Manage-bde -Protectors -Disable C: -RebootCount 0

 

Open CMD as admin an run the following command to resume the Bitlocker Encryption

 

Manage-bde -Protectors -Enable C:

 

Additional info

You may have noticed that both have an option with RebootCount. This is used to say to the system that after x reboots the system will automatically reactivate itself.

The value here can be maximum 15.
