I am stuck at the end of my encryption setup where VeraCrypt is about to reboot my computer as a pretest. However, it never follows through because I am stuck at this error, picrel
"The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
-The SSD that I am trying to encrypt used to have a full-disk encryption from the same software. Before I log in, it prompts me for a password but I just press ESC and it goes into my Windows login screen, because it is no longer encrypted now. I am trying to encrypt it again
-The current SSD is not the main boot, but I'm not sure if this is the issue.
-The SSD was not set up with my current motherboard, it was from an old, defunct one (I've tried to stabilize all the drivers though)

Some background information:
-The SSD that I am trying to encrypt used to have a full-disk encryption from the same software. Before I log in, it prompts me for a password but I just press ESC and it goes into my Windows login screen, because it is no longer encrypted now. I am trying to encrypt it again

Any help would be appreciated.
