Recovery bluescreen after every windows update

[Maxi]

hi,

my full windows-disk is encrypted with VC, after every windows update my windows is not booting and I get bluescreen "Recovery". I have to use the usb-stick and select "r) restore veracrypt boot loader" every time to fix it. I had encrypted my system some years ago too, and there wasn't this problem...

any idea why so ? is this a bug ? can I fix it forever ?

In order for anyone from the VeraCrypt community to help you, please provide the following:

• Make and model of your PC.
• Make and model using latest BIOS version?
• Your PC's OS Version and is OS using the latest patches? (Winver command will provide this information.)
• What version of VeraCrypt are you using on your PC?

You might try searching the VeraCrypt forum for your PC brand and/or model to see if there is a resolution to your problem.

VeraCrypt contains logic to fix any issue in bootloader before reboot, but it seems that it is not triggered in your case.

It is possible that this is caused by early abort of Windows shutdown sequence due to erasure of master key from memory. You can try to set the following registry key and see if it helps:

• Under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\veracrypt", create a REG_DWORD value named "VeraCryptEraseKeysShutdown".
• Set this registry value to 0

Reboot your machine afterwards.

Let us know if the issue still persists after this.
