There is no exact answer to this question as the solution may depends upon variants of ransomware
Unfortunately , decryption methods do not exist for the newest ransomware variants.if it is an old ransomware variant you can recover your data by using the following linkshttps://www.nomoreransom.org/

It all depends on the strength of the encryption algorithm, and how much computing power you can put in to crack it.
For ransomeware, the best approach is usually to pay up and avoid the consequences and hassle. -
@Cardano you’re dealing with cyber criminals. You can never be sure that you’ll get your files back, even if you pay
-
you are right… it’s a 50/50 chance afterall..
-
Even if they get your files unlocked, there might be other dangers awaiting you. It’s conceivable that the attackers may have left some unpleasant surprises it may give them more advantage.
-
Now the attackers not only decrypting the data but also exfiltrating from the machine.If they are not paid They will leak it to public.
-
Perhaps we got the files back,what if they decided to lift a copy for themselves and sell it on the Dark Web. Paying the ransom won’t undo that potential damage.

The latest report from VMware Carbon Black’s Global Threat Data 2020
reveals that various ransomware attacks have no decryption mechanism
that leads to the complete destruction of the data under siege.-
Security software companies and research organizations are collaborating to break the encryption codes of ransomware and free those who have fallen victim to cybercriminals. For many, these efforts take time.
There are some ransomware attacks that have somewhat been solved, and you can find more about these here:

Don’t try to use every available tools in internet.many ransomeware tools are actually just more ransomware,which can cause more damage. Try to use tools provided by trusted source.
