Hi I have an external SSD that I use for college, I use Bitlocker to protect the files, I have attempted to access the drive as normal and entered my password but nothing happens, the log-in window just freezes.
I attempted to use command prompt to check the status of the drive and then tried to remove Bitlocker as below;
***STATUS CHECK***

How can the drive be both locked and unlocked?
I would really appreciate any help that someone can give. The OS is Windows 10 Pro build 1909.
Thank you
