I have 5 bitlocker-encrypted drives on my PC: C, D, E, F, G

I can run the following commands successfully to obtain the bitlocker recovery key:

manage-bde -protectors C: -get manage-bde -protectors E: -get manage-bde -protectors F: -get manage-bde -protectors G: -get

But the D-drive command fails:

manage-bde -protectors D: -get

Error:

Volume D: [DATA] All Key Protectors ERROR: An error occurred (code 0x80070490): Element not found.

There is nothing special about my D drive. It is an internal SSD just like C and G. My E and F drives are both external USB SSD drives.

I can go into the bitlocker UI in Win10 and get the recovery key for D with no problem; it only fails from the command line, even though all others succeed. (Yes, I launched the windows command shell as Admin.)

Any ideas?

I decrypted and re-encrypted the drive with bitlocker and that solved the problem.
