FVE_E_OVERLAPPED_UPDATE

FVE_E_OVERLAPPED_UPDATE means that another BitLocker operation currently holds the metadata update path for this drive. Concurrent changes to encryption state or protectors must be serialized.

How to investigate for FVE_E_OVERLAPPED_UPDATE

Wait for the active encryption, decryption, protector, or management operation to complete before retrying.
Check the current conversion and protection status rather than starting parallel automation jobs.
Do not attempt to bypass the lock by editing metadata or forcibly terminating management components.

Microsoft: manage-bde -status

Diagnostic discriminator: Check for another active BitLocker metadata update on the same volume. This status is concurrent update serialization, so retry is meaningful only after the earlier update releases the metadata path.
