Please help! So i ran the pretest, and when my computer did not restart back on, I manually powered it back on. It then prompted me to put in my password, which I did. It then says "authorizing", "success", and then gets stuck at "Start 0 407896064 len 0." So I then reset my computer and when i pressed escape to skip the login, i just got all this stuf about verifying things, then the last thing pops up, "no bootfile found." It then goes and resets. I am able to boot the rescue usb, but unable to...

So all I get is the default pretest failed error. Though I have also leanred that if I hit F12 while it is booting up, I am able to select the Veracrypt launcher and it says it works. But I decided not to encrypt due to the fact I am unsure if this just a work around or a solution. (Sorry for all the excess comments, I am still getting used to this site, and I haven't figured out how to delete them.)

Hello, I am experiencing an issue during the OS encryption process in which the pretest fails. The first time I performed the test, I received a Secure Boot violation error (something about an invalid signature if I recall correctly), and afterward, it proceeded to go through the normal startup process. So I then disabled Secure Boot and Quick Startup. And after trying it again, the pretest failed once more. It went through the normal startup process, but this time without the Secure Boot error....
