The device encryption is in turn off status.
But when I type in search bar for "Manage Bitlocker", the result is just to click for information from Microsoft.

Bit Locker is not available on Home versions of Windows. You need to get a Pro or higher version of Windows.

After unlocking the drive, I can access to my data without any issue.
