Unable to turn on Bit Locker Error: System cannot find the file specified

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you are unable to turn on Bit locker on your computer after converting to GPT partition, we will look into this for you. However, to get into the root cause of the issue, please reply with the following details:

• Which edition of Windows 10 are you using?
  
• How did you convert the partition to GPT?
  
• How did you change the BIOS from legacy to UEFI?
  

You can try resetting the REAgent.xml file and see if that helps in resolving the issue. Please follow the steps mentioned below:

1. Press Windows key + E, to open
   File Explorer.
   
2. Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\Recovery.
   
3. Look for REAgent.xml file, right click on it and click on
   Rename.
   
4. Rename the file to REAgent.old.
   
5. If you receive any prompt click on Yes.
   
6. Start the Bit Locker encryption process.
   

Please reply with the status of the issue, we will be glad to help you further.

Bitlocker Error: The system cannot find the file specified

I was encrypting my Drive "D" and system got shutdown due to power loss. After turning on the system I was unable to decrypt the drive. I'm receiving the error "The system cannot find the file specified" while entering the password. I tried below steps but nothing helped.

1. Press Windows key + E, to open File Explorer.
   
2. Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\Recovery.
   
3. Look for REAgent.xml file, right click on it and click on Rename.
   
4. Rename the file to REAgent.old.
   
5. If you receive any prompt click on Yes.
   
6. Start the Bit Locker encryption process.
   

 

The system cannot find the file specified error when starting bitlocker. Renaming the ReAgent.xml doesn't work.

On my Windows 10 system. When I turn on bit locker, error appears "The system cannot find the file specified error when starting bitlocker". I tried to rename the ReAgent.xml to ReAgent.old, tried deleted the file to have it recreated, but error still appears. Anyone have any idea how to fix this?
