[KB7426] Decrypt a Standalone Workstation within Windows

Issue

I need to decrypt my Standalone Workstation. 

ESET Endpoint Encryption (EEE) Client and EEE Server are separate products from ESET Full Disk Encryption (EFDE)

The article below applies only to the EEE Client or EEE Server and not EFDE.

Visit What's new in ESET Full Disk Encryption to view EFDE content.

Solution

To decrypt a Standalone Workstation, follow the instructions below.

Ensuring you are logged into the key-file, right-click the notification tray icon, select Full Disk Encryption.

  • Click Manage Disks.

  • Highlight the disk and click Decrypt.

  • Enter the FDE Admin password to begin decryption. 

Repeat this process for any additional encrypted disks. Once complete, the pre-boot log screen will be removed.
