Hey there! Hope this article can help:



How does FileVault encryption work on a Mac?

https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/encrypt-mac-data-with-filevault-mh11785/mac


It usually takes time for the initial encryption or decryption to finish, you can see the progress usually in System Preferences > Security and Privacy > FileVault. There you can also enable or disable it if you need to, good feature though.


Hope that helps!
