I just checked. I'm on Windows 11 25H2. The March 2026 Update (KB5086672) replaced the file \efi\microsoft\boot\bootmgfw.efi .

I just noticed that I have recovery disabled. It seemed to me that it was active before encrypting, or maybe I had already disabled it previously, I don't remember. Do you think it should be enabled or disabled with encrypted System partition ? This is the command to check the status of WinRE: reagentc /info . (reagentc /enable , reagentc /disable) .

How to prevent Windows Update from overwriting UEFI entries and deleting the Veracrypt one ? https://imgur.com/DqIAb2v Windows 11, vc 1.26.27 . This is the second time i have to use the recovery disk to restore the Veracrypt bootloader, because every time there is a Windows Feature Update, the UEFI NVRAM is rewritten and erases the Veracrypt entry. I don't know if this is just me or a common problem (in this case, i think it's a critical issue that needs to be addressed).

I start with the performance without encryption: (CRUCIAL P310 1TB NVME GPT ) https://imgur.com/a/68rxOZq Then the performance after the drive encryption using Veracrypt 1.26.20 I have a recent Ryzen 9700X .

Sure, thanks for the heads up. I already knew that with modern SSD/NVMe drives, the CPU makes the difference. In fact, i didn't understand why i was having such a dramatic drop in 4K reads, considering i'm using AES. I have a Ryzen 9700X (over 21Gb/s in decryption performance): https://sourceforge.net/p/veracrypt/discussion/general/thread/843f2e41db/?limit=25#f259 . So i think the integrated Veracrypt benchmark should be offered with 4K performance. Is there a 4k comparison with Diskcriptor ?

according to veracrypt benchmark, i should be well within my nvme capabilities, since i used AES. Instead, it's a disaster !
