You might try:

waithidden {pathname of system x32 folder}\cmd.exe /C manage-bde -on C:

There are 4 different system folder inspectors whose behavior sometimes changes based on context:

system folder

system x32 folder

system x64 folder

system wow64 folder

See the Windows Inspector Guide for details.
