Problem persists. Is this project abandoned?
I tried VeraCrypt around a year ago but uninstalled cause I got an error that I could not resolve. Today I reinstalled again without an issue and seems to be working as it should. Regarding speed everything is normal here. It is installed in my desktop Dell Optiplex 5090 SFF running Windows 11 Pro and also in a 14 years old Toshiba laptop running Windows 10 Home. I encrypted a folder in a portable HDD. So far so good.
Bump
Never used before and got the same problem here. I use Windows 11 Pro 24H2. I tried to run the shortcut as administrator and displayed the error as well but it opened clicking OK in the error. Then disabled then administrator option and now VeraCrypt opens ok. This behavior is somewhat abnormal.
Good news! I updated v4.4.8 to v4.4.9 and this time everything was just fine. So, I suppose something was wrong with the previously installed v4.4.7 that caused the malfunction after the update.
Oh I'm sorry. I just deleted v4.4.9 before reinstalling v4.8 and the log was deleted as well. As time permits I will try again the last version.
