The PauseConversion method of the Win32_EncryptableVolume class pauses the encryption or decryption of a volume.
Note
If the disc supports hardware encryption, this function can pause a wiping operation but cannot pause hardware-based encryption.
uint32 PauseConversion();
This method has no parameters.
Type: uint32
This method returns one of the following codes or another error code if it fails.
If this method is used on a fully encrypted or fully decrypted volume, or if encryption/decryption is already paused on the volume, 0 is returned assuming no other errors occur.
| Return code/value | Description |
|---|---|
|
The method was successful. |
|
The volume is locked. |
If this method is used on a volume with encryption/decryption in progress, successfully running this method causes GetConversionStatus to indicate that encryption or decryption is paused.
