Hello everyone.
I am very desperate and I am here to ask for help. I had a folder encrypted with EFS on desktop and a backup that I occasionally updated on a pen drive. Unfortunately one day it happened that the hard disk burned and the certificate was not exported to a pen drive.
On this pen drive I have the data to access the ethereum portfolio, but obviously when I try to open it it gives me access denied. Is there a solution to decrypt these files? I would be very grateful to you!
Thanks a lot.
ps = I have already sent my hard disk to the ontrack and it is unrecoverable
ElcomSoft does have a tool for brute-forcing EFS encrypted files, but I have no idea if their approach will work in your specific case (files copied to another media)

Thank you for your answer. I already used this software but did nothing. I understand that in any case the certificate must be present in the register in order to decrypt. But I lost the certificate, because the hard disk burned and I didn't export the pfx file to the pen drive!
I like to say that if someone manages to help me solve the problem, I would give a $ 500 reward.
Thanks again
Yep, whenever these Commercial programs are available you never know what they actually do as - even if the programmers did explain that - the marketing folks will have overwritten the info with the usual "can do anything" hype.
Another one worth a try

it mentions user password OR certificate, so maybe it can actually rebuild them? ?
There is a "manual" way, detailed here

but hard to say if it still works on newer EFS, AFAIK that is 2K/XP
