How to prevent Windows Update from overwriting UEFI entries and deleting the Veracrypt one ?

Windows 11, vc 1.26.27 .
This is the second time i have to use the recovery disk to restore the Veracrypt bootloader, because every time there is a Windows Feature Update, the UEFI NVRAM is rewritten and erases the Veracrypt entry.
I don't know if this is just me or a common problem (in this case, i think it's a critical issue that needs to be addressed).

  I just checked. I'm on Windows 11 25H2. The March 2026 Update (KB5086672) replaced the file \efi\microsoft\boot\bootmgfw.efi .
