I want to restore just a single text file to the desktop. I'm using Backup&Recovery 16 Free on Windows 10.
I have a full backup. I followed the instructions to restore a file and started the restore. After a while, I received this popup:

Could someone please help me decode this? My disk itself is not encrypted, but it's quite possible there are a couple of encrypted files somewhere among my files. Why would this matter? Why would the contents of a file matter? And furthermore, why would the contents of some other file on my disk cause me to have to restore the entire volume just to get at a single unencrypted file?NTFS volume contains 2 encrypted file(s). Please restore
entire volume to avoid data loss. Do you want to break
operation? Yes / No
What does 'break operation' mean?
By the way, not understanding this, I chose 'yes' and this is what happened next:

This sounds scary! All I want to do is restore a single file to my desktop! At this point, I hit cancel.Volume exclusive access is required to complete the operation.
What would you like to do?
The operation Restore partitions or disks from virtual containers needs exclusive access to volume C: and cannot be completed. Please retry or cancel the operation.
So how do I do this? Maybe I should have hit 'no'?
