I can't decrypt the system disk because the program hangs after the notification that some data on the ssd disk is corrupted and veracrypt tries to overwrite it, which makes the system hang like a hang.
Question: - Can I just format the disk to remove the encrypted status?
PS
All the valuable data was transferred to a spare disk
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
As i know there are "quick" formating and "per byte formating" where corrupted memory blocks are written as invalid and removed from usage. After full formating i can use it without any problem (as i know)
My questiom has relation to other: - can i format old logical system disk from new operation system (windows 10on new ssd) so that get rid of the encrypted status?

With the corrupt SSD installed as a secondary drive on a PC, I would recommend you install your SSD's software to check the health of the corrupt SSD drive.
With the corrupt SSD installed as a secondary drive on a PC, you can use DiskPart commands to clean the drive. Clean only means remove all the partition information and the disk format information.
Be very careful when using the DiskPart tool to make sure you are impacting only the corrupt SSD drive.
You can Google search for the DiskPart procedures to clean the corrupt SSD drive.

Can i format my system logical disk if i can't decipher it?
What is the result in this case?
Your SSD is failing. Why do you want to continue to use it?
You need to get a new SSD.
Check with your SSD manufacture to see if they offer procedures and/or software to secure wipe the SSD.
