Need to turn off BitLocker encryption on a drive - before decommissioning a machine, re-imaging, or troubleshooting? This one-liner disables it directly from the terminal.

Prerequisites:

- Privileges: Run as Administrator
- Module: Built-in, no import needed

Quick Command:

```PowerShell
Disable-BitLocker -MountPoint "C:"
```

How it Works:

- Disable-BitLocker removes all key protectors from the specified volume and begins decrypting its contents.
- \-MountPoint "C:" specifies which drive letter to target - replace this with whatever volume you actually want to decrypt.
- If the operating system volume has automatic unlocking keys configured, this command won't proceed until those are removed first.

Pro Tip:

To disable BitLocker on every encrypted volume on the machine at once:

```PowerShell
$BLV = Get-BitLockerVolume
Disable-BitLocker -MountPoint $BLV
```
