Your post is a little unclear to me, but what I understand you to be saying is that you installed VeraCrypt on your E: drive (not your system drive) and then you encrypted the E: drive, which doesn't automatically mount at boot time. Now you can't run VeraCrypt properly because the E: drive isn't yet mounted and the program files are unreachable. If I haven't totally misunderstood your dilemma, try using the portable version of VeraCrypt to mount your encrypted drive using the E: drive letter. As...

As your own successful results with Enigma2Illusion's direct links suggest, downloading from the source instead of an intermediary like Launchpad.net is often a go-to fix. I asked my dear friend Google, "What are some of the problems encountered when downloading files from launchpad.net?" (edited to use larger image)

There's an old saying that the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Here's an example of some loud squeaking with high levels of readership... https://www.neowin.net/news/microsoft-pulls-developer-accounts-of-wireguard-and-veracrypt/ It's great to see the support that the developer of this program receives!

This is a sad turn of events, Mounir! This may seem a bit out in left field (to use an American idiom), but is it possible that some seemingly minor aspect of your recent relocation to Japan is at the root of this inexplicable account revocation? Grasping at straws is a hobby of mine :)

Since you've already tried so many things and one of your remaining concerns seems to be that some element of Windows could potentially be getting in the way, I would suggest downloading various versions of VeraCrypt Portable and using it in a WinPE environment rather than full Windows. WinPE is a stripped-down version of Windows that lacks some of the system services that could possibly get in the way of a successful mount, and this would also eliminate potential conflicts with other software that...

Between the size of the bounty you offered and your dogged persistence in this matter, my curiosity is getting the better of me. How many Bitcoin have you potentially lost if this is unsuccessful? I won't be offended if you decline to answer, but I'm curious.

Your Royal Fogginess, Is it possible you are mis-remembering the type of encryption you had on this disk? If it's booting under legacy MBR mode, then whole-disk encryption should still be available, as you desire. But if it boots under EFI mode, then only the system partition will submit to your encryption decree and the whole disk option will be humbly but properly greyed. There is a sacred scroll that may further enlighten you, located here (skip to the last paragraph)... https://veracrypt.jp/...
