Hello,
I have removed encryption from system disk C: with "Permament decrypt system partition/drive". The process went fine and I got a sucesfull decryption message on the end on Win 10. Then it asked me to restart laptop so I did it.
After that, I was expecting it won't ask me for password anymore but it did, and the problem is, that password I was always using, do not work anymore. Is it normal? Any idea what could be the cause?

Aditionally, is it possible that my D: drive (seperate physical disk) has been formatted during decryption?

I appreciate your help on this. I read google and forum but could not find any similar case or help with it :/

  Hi,
  
  Does pressing ESC on the password prompt make Windows boot normally?
  Is your machine booting using EFI or legacy MBR more?
  Which VeraCrypt version were you running?
  
  The decryption process should have removed VeraCrypt bootloader and
  restored the original system one.
  
  Concerning any separate disks, they are not affected by the decryption
  of the system.
