Setting the GraphDevice to zero did not change the behavior. The menu for Intel ME Setup is very confusing, but I do not see any option to disable it, or anything relating to graphics. I updated it to the newest version though, which allegedly fixes a handful of remote vulnerabilities. Thank you for bringing that to my attention. Also, thank you for all of your help.

I will likely reinstall Windows 1903 when the BIOS...

Some info: The system has a fresh install of Windows 10 Build 1903, and is a ~2yo HP EliteBook. VeraCrypt installed fine, and I started doing a standard system encryption. Nothing fancy. Restarted for encryption pretest and the system stuck on the HP logo. I rebooted and F9'd into Boot Options....
