Well, after I type in the password the system is decrypted already, right? And then I can simply repeat the encryption process?
Or am I wrong here?

I recommend you spend time reading the documentation to get a clearer understanding of how VeraCrypt works. The encrypted volume is always encrypted. You mount the volume to gain access to the encrypted data. The documentation explains this process in more detail.

You can install VeraCrypt and create a small test file container to get a better understanding of how to use the product before attempting to use the more advanced features of system encryption.

Be advised that VeraCrypt has incompatibilities with certain PC manufactures for EFI system encryption. ASUS, Dell and HP are three I have seen threads about. There may be others brands.

https://sourceforge.net/p/veracrypt/discussion/technical/thread/5b859040/

Always make backups of your data to prevent loss of data due to hardware failure, software issues and user error.

So you probably mean, I have to use the Permanently Decrypt option.
I hope it will work. Of course I always have backups of important data. I just don't want to re-install the whole system.
I hope I don't have to do that.

Yes, use the Permanently Decrypt System Partition/Drive option in the VeraCrypt application.

If you plan to use the Rescue Disk from 1.19 version instead of the Permanently Decrypt System Partition/Drive option, upgrade to 1.20 Beta to avoid bug that prevents completely decrypting the system encryption when using the Rescue Disk.

After you upgrade, create new Rescue Disk.

I am having trouble with the Raspberry version of VeraCrypt. I have tested this on other machines (linux mint, not raspbian) and the console works fine, but not for Raspberry Pi 2 (ARM). I have searched for information, but none available worked for me.

The error message (after running the mount command described below);
Error: device-mapper: create ioctl on veracrypt1_1 failed: Device or resource busy
Command failed

This is how I installed it;
Installing VeraCrypt (console version) on Raspberry Pi 2:

Download the Raspbian version of VeraCrypt:

wget https://launchpad.net/veracrypt/trunk/1.19/+download/veracrypt-1.19-raspbian-setup.tar.bz2

Unpack:

tar xvf veracrypt-1.19-raspbian-setup.tar.bz2

Run it:

bash veracrypt-1.19-setup-console-armv7

Download the missing Library:

sudo apt-get install libwxbase3.0-0

Done installing.

The command I use to mount a working VeraCrypt device without any prompts:

veracrypt --pim=0 -p <PASSWORD> -t -k "" --protect-hidden=no /dev/sdXn /mnt/<EXISTING_FOLDER>

Raspbian Device Info:
OS: Raspbian Jessie Lite
Version: January 2017
Release date: 2017-01-11
Kernel version: 4.4

I hope to get this problem solved, so that I may document this for other rasbian users that may encounter the same problem on current rasbian jessie lite + rasberry pi 2. :)

With respect to this https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/commandline/wsl/install_guide

The drives are visible in explorer, but not in the /mnt directory with the other drives. Is there any way to mount it manually? (Other than installing vc in there again)

I saw the issue in the troubleshooting FAQ (https://veracrypt.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Troubleshooting - Problem:
After the system partition/drive is encrypted, the computer cannot boot after it is restarted (it is also impossible to enter the BIOS configuration screen).)

I don't have an extra drive besides my SSD or a copy of windows to put on another drive if I had one, so I'm not sure what to do right now. I've restarted my computer countless times and it just sits at a black screen. I tried to unplug the hard drive to see if it would let me enter the BIOS that way, but it didn't.

I'm kind of at a loss for what to do here and unfortunately I didn't save the repair iso to a usb drive like I should have (I know...it's on my desktop on the SSD).

Anyone have any ideas on how to get my PC working again?

Ok so I encrypted my hard drive on my laptop with veracrypt using their step by step guide and everything went great until today when i turned my computer on. When I turn it on instead of asking for the password like its suppose to it just tries to start up but says windows repairing and it just keeps doing that. So now i can only start my computer with the VeraCrypt rescue disk. Can someone please help me and let me know how i can make my computer start without the rescue disk?

It looks like wrong boot loader selected. You can try to start via EFI boot menu Press F10 or F12 to select loader. (See documentation for your model)

When I dismount a drive, VeraCrypt hangs the taskbar and after five minutes, the task bar unfreezes, and a notification appears, saying that the volume is dismounted.
Comments: Back to report my latest finds that could be helpful to others. I’ve been trying to get rid of some persistent errors in the Windows’ logs and succeeded with all but 3: * DistributedCOM - EventID 10016 * DistributedCOM - EventID 10010 * Service Control Manager (Connected Devices Platform Service) - EventID 7023 Apparently the first one is easily fixed (see [here](https://www.tenforums.com/performance-maintenance/20230-windows-10-event-id-10010-10016-errors-distributedcom.html) – haven’t tried it myself yet). However, I could not find in the forums a clear solution to the other two errors. Today while doing some backups to an external hard disk using the program I’ve mentioned before (SecondCopy) I forgot to connect the drive and obviously there were errors. SecondCopy tried to report through the notification area the 6 failed backups and a very long taskbar lock up did occur. When I checked the error logs there were plenty of 10010 and 7023 events. Then I intentionally ran SecondCopy again at a specific time without the drive being connect and checked the logs: ``` 09/02/2017 10:50:19 Service Control Manager 7023 "The Connected Devices Platform Service service terminated with the following error: Unspecified error" 09/02/2017 10:52:19 Microsoft-Windows-DistributedCOM 10010 The server {37998346-3765-45B1-8C66-AA88CA6B20B8} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout. 09/02/2017 10:52:19 Service Control Manager 7023 "The Connected Devices Platform Service service terminated with the following error: Unspecified error" 09/02/2017 10:54:19 Microsoft-Windows-DistributedCOM 10010 The server {37998346-3765-45B1-8C66-AA88CA6B20B8} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout. 09/02/2017 10:54:19 Service Control Manager 7023 "The Connected Devices Platform Service service terminated with the following error: Unspecified error" 09/02/2017 10:56:19 Microsoft-Windows-DistributedCOM 10010 The server {37998346-3765-45B1-8C66-AA88CA6B20B8} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout. 09/02/2017 10:56:19 Service Control Manager 7023 "The Connected Devices Platform Service service terminated with the following error: Unspecified error" 09/02/2017 10:58:19 Microsoft-Windows-DistributedCOM 10010 The server {37998346-3765-45B1-8C66-AA88CA6B20B8} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout. 09/02/2017 10:58:19 Service Control Manager 7023 "The Connected Devices Platform Service service terminated with the following error: Unspecified error" 09/02/2017 11:00:19 Microsoft-Windows-DistributedCOM 10010 The server {37998346-3765-45B1-8C66-AA88CA6B20B8} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout. 09/02/2017 11:00:27 Service Control Manager 7023 "The Connected Devices Platform Service service terminated with the following error: Unspecified error" 09/02/2017 11:02:27 Microsoft-Windows-DistributedCOM 10010 The server {37998346-3765-45B1-8C66-AA88CA6B20B8} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout. ``` There is a pair of 7023/10010 events with a 2 min gap between them for each error message issued. The next obvious thing to do was to enable VeraCrypt notifications and check the error logs: ``` 09/02/2017 13:03:01 Service Control Manager 7023 "The Connected Devices Platform Service service terminated with the following error: Unspecified error" 09/02/2017 13:05:01 Microsoft-Windows-DistributedCOM 10010 The server {37998346-3765-45B1-8C66-AA88CA6B20B8} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout. ``` Bingo, the same event pairs related to notifications with an exact 2 min gap. Googling around for the “Connected Devices Platform Service” I’ve came across some suggestions that this service could be disabled without any visible impact on the system (see [here](https://www.tenforums.com/performance-maintenance/65664-errors-connected-devices-platform-service-cdp-user-service-cdpusersvc.html)). It's been 5 h since I’ve disabled it and got rid of the notification problems. Error logs clean.

Since openSUSE has switched to gcc5 with new libstdc++ ABI veracrypt doesn't work after compilation.
Because of the ABI change I need to recompile a dynamic linked veracrypt.
But when trying to mount a truecrypt file volume I get a message window, telling me only about "Invalid characters encountered."
I've tried to debug it and it seems to be fuse-related. So maybe not a compiler/libstdc++ problem, but a incompatibility with new fuse version 2.9.4?!
It would be helpful, if the message would tell more about the exact exception cause.
So, please have a look at.
Comments: I have received an update about this issue from Kyle Marek who developed a fix for the same issue for CipherShed. It turns out that this was not a GCC5 issue after all but rather a bug in foreach loop inherited from TrueCrypt which appears only with GCC5. Here is his analysis: > Stepping through TrueCrypt code in a debugger revealed that TrueCrypt's "foreach" implementation is prone to reconstructing std::string. The implications of this are that the C string copying that's done in the original loop copies the char pointers of the std::string copy, which becomes unreliable as soon as the loop iteration completes (what happens to the memory afterwards is unpredictable). What makes your fix work is that your manual std::string construction that's done within the loop copies the buffer of the std::string copy while it's still valid. Notice that your second loop is not a foreach-loop, but a nice for-loop. I think if you replaced it with yet another foreach loop, you would recreate the issue. > GCC5 wasn't broken, and GCC5 didn't break the TrueCrypt code. It's just always been broken and it was mere coincidence that the foreach loop worked "successfully". . Here is the commit Kyle made for CipherShed: https://github.com/CipherShed/CipherShed/commit/71ca808157731eb329496ef15e2282efa4aed9f8 It looks like we will have to check all occurrences of this foreach look in the code in order to detect potential issues.

Hi.
I would like to know how to update to a new version of Veracrypt.
Can I just install the new version, or do I have to uninstall the current version first?
What about the encrypted drives, especially system drives?
Do I have to remove the encryption and then encrypt again after the update, or will it work without re-encryption?

I'm a total newbie and have not downloaded or used VeraCrypt yet, so please forgive my lack of knowledge, but my question is:

Do the contents of a VeraCrypt volume/file container (after being mounted, of course) work and appear like any other Windows folder (e.g., in File Explorer)? Is the [mounted] volume searchable like any other Windows folder(s)?

My knowledge of VeraCrypt is embarrassingly low (as I recently admitted in another thread), but for emailing encrypted files, I personally would forego VeraCrypt entirely and just encrypt the individual file using 7-Zip or AxCrypt. With 7-Zip you can choose among several file formats, and one of your options is to create an encrypted .zip file, which can then be easily opened on any Windows computer without having to download any software (including 7-Zip). With AxCrypt, one of the options is to turn your encrypted file into an .exe file, which can then be opened by running it on the recipient's computer without having to download any software (including the AxCrypt application).

Thanx for the link.
Is updating to 1.20 Beta 2 only necessary when using UEFI?
I use Windows 10, but in Legacy mode. Then there will be no issue with the Rescue Disk, right?
