    Hello,

    I had my windows 10 x64 Encrypted. Botting using GPT, EFI. This is a desktop computer with an Asus motherboard.

    I noticed that there was an entry for "Windows Boot Loader" in the efi boot list, and I deleted it.
    I used a program called easyUEFI.
    After this the computer doesn't boot into windows. VeraCrypt prompt for password shows up. It gets authorized, but then it boots winto windows recovery. Which is what happens if I press ESC instead of inputing the password.
    I have the recovery USB drive, but the options it offers don't seem to fix the problem.
    I am not sure how I can fix this, or why this happened. It's like veracrypt can't boot into windows, instead boots into the recovery.
    Can anyone offer some help?

    My issue is like what's described in this pinned thread: https://sourceforge.net/p/veracrypt/discussion/technical/thread/f403d1d8/
    But there's an alert on that threat that those instructions are outdated. In any case I tried to do it, but it didn't work. Windows boots into the recovery, and can't find any operating system.
