    Open a Command Prompt with Admin privileges and run:
    Code:
    manage-bde -status
    What are the results?

    I would let that finish encrypting. Once it is done:

    I left it on all night and progress never moved any so I reinstalled Win 10 and to the best of my knowledge I didn't pick any type of bitlock. But it started again and here is the latest results. I would like to remove this and not have it run at all if possible
