Just Right-Click on the Drive while in XPEAlso, on a side note, I searched here and couldn't find anything. Has anyone made a plugin or script to allow decryption of bitlocker drives from within the PE?

Kyhi, thanks for this tool! It is much appreciated.
I saw your response earlier to my bitlocker question but was a bit busy and couldn't respond, I see you removed it, but I just wanted to clarify to clear things up.
When you right click on the drive in PE and unlock it with the key, that just allows you to interact with the drive that is still encrypted. Doing that doesn't decrypt the drive, it just allows you to do what you need to do with the encrypted drive.
What I am referring to is actually fully decrypting the drive within the PE (turn off bitlocker).
The PE doesn't have the bitlocker drive encryption option in the control panel like Windows has:
Additionally, when opening cmd prompt in the PE, the core BL files aren't there that allow you to manage bitlocker by using the command line to interact with bitlocker via the "manage-bde" options.
I am just curious if someone has made a script or plugin that puts the BL files into the PE to allow the full decryption of BL drives while in PE.
Also, I had some issues recently with a laptop that would only display in 800x600 and you couldn't change that resolution. I had to inject a 1.5GB video driver into the PE to fix that but I want to find a different way of fixing that without having to increase my PE file size by 1.5GB for the video driver. So I was going to try what doudiii posted a couple of days ago, which is:
But where do I put that? I assume in the pecmd.ini file but just want to be sure as I want to test and make sure that the laptop will work without the video driver injection into the PE with this fix above.Code:;22631.3371 +++ ;25300 26085.1 ;26100.1needed \Windows\System32\DispBroker.dll ; ;26085.1 ;26100.1large desktop \Windows\System32\DispBroker.Desktop.dll ;\Windows\System32\fr-fr\DispBroker.Desktop.dll.mui ; ;mouse cursor ;25900;26063.1;26085.1;26100.1 \Windows\System32\Microsoft.Internal.WarpPal.dll ; ;26085.1 ;26100.1desktops dpi + \Windows\System32\msclmd.dll \Windows\System32\mscms.dll ;\Windows\System32\fr-fr\mscms.dll.mui \Windows\System32\Windows.Graphics.dll ; ;25900;26085.1;26100.1 \windows\SYSTEM32\Windows.UI.FileExplorer.WASDK.dll ;\Windows\System32\fr-FR\Windows.UI.FileExplorer.WASDK.dll.mui ;26063.1;26085.1 ;26100.1 ;admin \Windows\System32\windows.immersiveshell.serviceprovider.dll \Windows\System32\fr-fr\windows.immersiveshell.serviceprovider.dll.mui ;
in the wim file but instead of \fr-fr\ use your own languageBut where do I put that?
You should be able to add those lines in the Additions plug-in under Add Windows 10 Files and Folders. Just click on edit there and paste in those lines and save and exit. Those files will then be included in your next build of the Win10XPE project.

Thanks Kyhi. I grabbed it. Installed it, it works, and is valid till April 2025.
Is there a Win10XPE plugin available for this?
Thanks ffrags. I did put that code in the place you told me to, changed the language to en-US as SWI2 suggested and added it to the PE. I still get a resolution of 800x600.
doudiii am I doing something wrong here with your script as to why it isn't working?
Also, if you want to manage bitlocker in PE. Go to your custom folder for the builder, navigate to windows/system32, create a new folder called BitLocker. Copy manage-bde.exe from your own system32 folder as well as the en-US folder from your own system32 folder, then build it, you will then be able to use the CLI commands to manage BitLocker drives after that.
