Data recovery from encrypted partition is possible but you need to know the password of that drive. Stellar Windows data recovery software supports encrypted drives and can easily extract lost data from those drives.
software you mentioned above are good in recovering data and comes with a free trial version also. You must download the trial version of one and check the results it offers. We can’t say which one is better as usually different software uses different algorithms for recovering data and it depends on the situation in which software works better. If you go by my experience I suggest you to R-Studio first as at my previous employer we were using R-Studio and had good results.
Hi All,
Some while ago I was encrypting an external hard drive when the power failed. This meant I could not get back onto the drive.
To cut a long story short I did not know what I was doing afterwards and tried all sorts of things to get the data back. One of the stupid things I did was to format the partition table as well :frowning: So, presuming I cannot get the data back manually, what is the best software to recover the BitLocker partition?
Software I commonly see is Stellar Data Recovery
Are these the best or any other recommendations?
Same here. Between this and all the recent File Explorer fixes, Windows 11 might finally start feeling polished in 2026.
I’ll believe it when I see it 😅 Microsoft has promised “performance improvements” before. But if this really cuts down that annoying delay when clicking Start or opening apps, I’m definitely updating on day one.
From what early testers are saying, budget hardware could benefit the most. Since the CPU boosts itself only for short bursts, even weaker systems should feel more responsive when launching apps or using menus.
I’m actually curious whether this will make a noticeable difference on lower-end PCs. My budget laptop runs Windows 11 okay-ish, but opening apps and File Explorer always feels slower than it should.
To be fair, macOS and Linux already do similar things. It’s called “race to sleep” — CPU spikes briefly to finish tasks faster and then returns to idle. It’s actually pretty smart for responsiveness and battery efficiency.
Honestly, Windows 11 needs this. My older laptop always has that tiny “click…wait…” feeling when opening stuff. If this removes that lag, I’m all for it.
Funny seeing people online calling it a “fake performance fix” though 😂
Yeah, I’ve been following this. From what I understand, it temporarily ramps up CPU frequency when you open apps or trigger important UI actions, then quickly drops back down to save power.
Apparently Microsoft says it’ll improve app launches and core shell experiences like Start, Search, and Action Center.
Just read that Microsoft is finally rolling out that new Windows 11 Low Latency Profile feature in June. Supposedly it boosts CPU speed for a few seconds when opening apps, Start menu, Search, etc. Sounds like Windows might finally feel faster 😅
Anyone tried it in the preview build yet?
I think the data recovery industry will grow a lot because of AI infrastructure.
One ransomware attack on an AI data center could be a disaster.
Most companies focus on AI performance, but backup and recovery are just as important.
stellar data recovery is a good product.
When recommending software, many techs often don’t understand that with full disk encryption, there is 2-step process (after obviously creating a clone or image the drive), namely:
The data has to be decrypted first
Then the software could be used to scan and extract the files
Some softwares have the ability to handle both steps, sometimes not.
In this particular case, because of the formatting issue, no program will be able to recognize the bitlocker volumes, therefore accepting a recovery key to initiate the decryption process.
