I am on Windows 7and when I boot up before doing a system encryption, it works fine. Once it passed the bios, it takes couple of a seconds before the Windows logo appears.
However if I do a system encryption (with Veracrypt) on the system and afterward when I enter the password (Veracrypt), it takes about 30 seconds before the Windows logo appears.
Once in Windows, everything seems to be fine.
So the question is this delay a Veracrypt issue or a Window bootloader (mbr) issue? How would I fix this?

Use small PIM and long password to speed up password verification
Hi it is not the password verification but right after that.
Password is passed to windows driver. Authorization is performed twice(1. boot loader, 2. windows driver).
That is very good to know which I was not aware. Thanks
So could it be a service that recently I disabled or could it be the assignment of virtual memory which has slowed down the boot?
