Good evening.

I tried to encrypt my system partition today (All my data is stored there as well). The encryption of the whole drive took around 9 hours. It said it was sucessful. But after a reboot the system gives me an error:
"The Pc has to be repaired"
Error code: 0xc000000f
when i press enter a different Message pops up
"The Pc has to be repaired"
Error code: 0xc0000225
File : \Windows\system32\winload.efi

I've tried several things such as :

Decrypt the drive (Says it worked but same error on boot shows up)
Looked through the volumes in the Windows 10 Repair CD (For some reason the encrypted Drive shows as RAW)
On the Bootup options it's UEFI, if that does matter..

Im really upset and don't really know what to do, maybe you can help me?

Thanks in advance

What version of VeraCrypt do you use?

Do you decrypt the drive from rescue USB disk?

Should i try the patch that Mounir IDRASSI posted?
Should i decrypt again?

All disk decrypt again - no! Only first 50MB is not decrypted correctly. Do not restore header!

Mounir fixes the problem. The patch should work. Use decrypt disk from the patch. Instead of decryption it updates first 50MB only.

About your problem. It looks like HP or DELL notebook.

It's an acer computer.
So i should put the patch on the exisiting Rescue Disk (The USB Drive) and then just from that, correct?

  Interestingly, I'm using an acer computer too. I tried almost all the options in the rescue usb disk but to no avail.

Probably yes. Another possibility is file recovery software like R-Studio.
