#153 windows ACPI_BIOS_ERROR blue screen

[milada horakova]

wanted to encrypt the system of a Lenovo Miix 310-10ICR tablet - this was not successful and caused a lot of headache.

VeraCrypt's encryption pretest replaced \efi\boot\bootx64.efi with it's own one causing Windows 10 (and as people say any other OS) to fail on boot with an ACPI_BIOS_ERROR blue screen. Unfortunately this also causes system recovery and any attempt of booting Windows from USB to fail with this same error. This is probably caused by a conflict with the InsydeH2O-UEFI used in this device.

To solve this you need to boot from USB into EFI shell and replace "bootx64.efi" with the backup created by VeraCrypt "original_bootx64.vc_backup". I explained the required steps here: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Windows-based-Tablets/Miix-310-10ICR-ACPI-BIOS-ERROR-unable-to-boot-anything/td-p/3397835

I would like to see VeraCrypt system encryption working so what kind of system information do you need? Unfortunately the Minidump directory is empty so Windows seems to fail very early.
